Unlike Hashirama and Hiruzen, being Powerhouses, and Minato and Tobirama, being Assassin's; Tsunade, and Sakura, fall under their own category when addressing the safety of a village — Utility. They are Medical Experts, after all, and attain techniques that can heal, replenish and protect an entire village courtsey of The Strength of a Hundred Seal. When you add that to their observational presence of mind and combative prowess, it is enough to class Sakura as Kage level.

Remember, Tsunade became Hokage, and Sakura isn't too different from her in terms of what can be offered to the village.
