I wonder if due to the nature of the Six Paths they can only perform their respective Six Path abilities because they're actually corpses reanimated with chakra rods therefore or alternatively they do not technically have physical Rinnegan thus do not share Nagato's mastery of the basic elements. Those are couple of in-universe explanations I can think of as to why none of the six paths of pain can utilise basic ninjutsu.
