I have a lot of doubts regarding this theory because a) Toneri said that the Gedo Statue was stolen only once, if Hagoromo already "borrowed it", even for a while, it's unlikely that Hamura's clansmen would've overlooked that; b) according to Madara, GM summoning is techically a breakdown of the seal, and since the seal was so powerful as described, I don't think it was so easy to restore it once more, especially with Hagoromo being already on his deathbed; and c) there was actually no reason for Hagoromo to summon it and put it inside of himself - I think his stamina could've allowed him to live after the extraction for a while (he's worse than Kushina or what?), but he still didn't want to live onwards, so he didn't actually need a lot of time, especially for a simple talk with the Tailed Beasts.
