and then body hop into a clone of his younger self I just realized that with Shin, Hashirama cells, and the sharingan, Orochimaru is the single most powerful man in the Narutoverse now.

With such perfected cloning, he can just pour out an army of Rinnegan-wielding, All-Kekkei Genkai users, super-regenerating clones that take over the world with ease. Since Shin can both clone and merge with any DNA, he can easily absorb the Sharingan kekkei genkai and use it as his own.
