You said that Naruto still lacks the mentality as Hokage, which is completely false.Unlike the others, Naruto had no idea about about Momoshiki`s absorption.It`s not his fault that he didn`t know.So it`s only logical that Naruto would send shadow clones in battle to test Momoshiki`s fighting.Overall this is the best way to approach an enemy.

I`m not really understanding the point you are trying to get. You say that Naruto doesn`t read the situation and he sends shadow clones against Momoshiki, but by sending shadow clones he reads the situation since he doesn`t know about his enemy`s abilities.

With shadow clones, Naruto`s battle tactic is technically the best in the series against unknown opponents. The fact that Momoshiki has the absorption + release technique is an exception, but in general, shadow clones are still the best approach.So no, Naruto doesn`t lack the mentality. If anything, he is very very cautious.
