You seem to be using that as a counter-example of sorts, which doesn't really work. There was a significant difference between Naruto and the other jinchuriki: Naruto had 0 control over Kurama's chakra at that point. As a jinchuriki, whose purpose is to contain and channel the power of their bijuu, he was a bit of a failure... as he was in more than a couple areas, but hey. If the village had invested in him as a weapon - you know, made sure their weapon was actually strong - then... well, let's just say his fight against Neji would've been a lot quicker. Even if they'd just forced him to learn how to use Kurama's power instead of making him strong in his own right, he'd have been a force to be reckoned with. Any of the other jinchuriki would've wrecked Naruto's shit in a legit, 1v1 battle if Jiraiya hadn't stepped in and taught him summoning(and forced him to "learn" how to get some of Kurama's power). And even that wouldn't be enough.

Be honest, Gamabunta wouldn't be able to beat a bijuu. Gaara's transformation simply had a glaring weak spot.
