No chakra equals no raiton armor/boost. Hashirama then only needs to crush him with his Wood Release, not penetrate him with it. Although I agree that Hashirama would win, it would be very difficult for him. Onoki was capable of resisting Madara's pollen to some extent via raw willpower and proceeded to destroy the source of the pollen I believe. The Third Raikage's superhuman body coupled with raw willpower would allow him to quickly dash to the plant and destroy it or use black lightning on it from afar.

Hashirama's wood dragons can be severed in half and crushed very quickly, due to the Third Raikage's speed. Don't forget, he dodged a Rasenshuriken from NTCM Naruto while he was partially blinded by the sun, Naruto then directed the Rasenshuriken at him right from behind, which he dodged at almost point blank range, only when Naruto was literally on top of him did it hit him. With him being basically unaffected afterwards, even with his armor's weakness to wind with it being neutralized. I'm not sure what the "kakuan technique" is, and although his wood release could crush him he has to hit him first, which may prove to be difficult but I believe Hashirama could pull it off.
