As for me, the main plot holes of this moment are: Minato using Reaper Death Seal (he doomed himself to the sertain death anyway) and, as the TS said, the possibility of Kurama's resealing into Kushina excluded. Was it really nessesary for Minato to use RDS and not to try to seal the entire Nine-Tails into himself with Eight Trigramms Seal and become his Jinch himself? It would be a perfect way: the TB balance is keeped in order, Fourth Hokage stays alive and can face Tobi's treat again, as well as there stays a father for Naruto (although it's unclear if Kushina survived Kurama's extraction for sure or just temporarily and if it was possible for her to stay alive completely).

Now up to the second question. But wasn't it clearly said if Jinch dies, his TB will be resurrected for sure? I think it was. Albeit you're complelely right all in all: there could be a chance of Kushina surviving after Nine-Tails resealing, I don't even know why Kushina stated she would die for sure if Kurama is sealed back into her. And again this cursed TB balance... What kind of balance it is if Jinch lives peacefully, doesn't use any of his TB power and doesn't get involved in any of village's conflicts? In that way it wasn't even nessessarily to have a Jinch for Konoha, so I don't understand why Minato was so bothered with that "balance". Even if Kushina died and Nine-Tails was resurrested after some amount of time, Minato would be able to wait, call for assistance of Konoha comrades and when this resurrection would take place, with the help of others he could seal Kurama into any Jinch they choose to. He'd stay alive again, no needless self sacrifices and there's a Hokage for the village and the father for Naruto too.
