They don't need to share chakra. And waht is this permanent effect besides similar chakra signatures? Gaara held on to NONE of Shukkakus powers after nor did he have Tailed Beast chakra. He could pull out Shukaku's chakra. We don't know if he could communicate with Shukaku by telepathy (onetails spent most of his time inside the Gedo).

The Ten-Tails is the Demonic Statue with the chakras of all the nine tailed beasts. yes, but moreso the Gedo seems to change the very nature of the Tailed Beasts. E.g. Juubi is a mass of Natural Chakra far, far, far beyond the individual chakras of the beasts.
