I think the biggest problem is not the final power level, but rather the speed at which it happened. Hagoromo was an adult (in his 30's?) when he became the Sage. Hashirama took 30-40 years to become the God of Shinobi and transform entire battlefields and tame the Biju. Naruto went from a Ninja Graduate to Narusus in about 4 years.

5 years actually. Naruto graduated the Academy at 12 (by the way, why did Kishi emphasize that he failed the graduation test multiple times in the beginning? Shouldn't he have been older than his friends, then? They were all 12 when they graduated), the timeskip made him be about 14 or 15 in Volume 28 (2 and a half years), and the final day of the 4th Shinobi war was his 17th birthday, as stated by Minato.

And from what I've gathered, the Sharingan didn't originate from Kaguya (she had just a tomoe-Rinnegan with the powers of the Rinnegan and the Sharingan, and the Byakugan). It originated with her grandson Indra. And it's suggested that it was an inferior mutation of the Rinnegan. So it didn't come from the Byakugan, it came from the Rinnegan. It just so happens that all three dōjutsu came from the same source. Being Kaguya.
