Especially since we saw the Juubi drain chakra from shinobi (at least, when in tree form) making them the physical requirement seem logical. And the Genjutsu part is to keep people from trying to escape. I'm not sure whether these requirements are absolute, but i think the only way to stop such a large scale jutsu in a reasonable timeframe would be to use such powerful techniques. After all, merely using regular techniques to break the genjutsu and capsules would probably take forever, especially since the tree can drain chakra from it's many sources to restore any lost connection. (e.g. when Tobirama cuts someone free, the tree has enough chakra to simply recapture the victim).

So, in order to break it properly you'd likely need to break all connections at the same time.
