Nah, Hamura does not have the Six Paths Sage Mode or Six Paths Ten Tails Coffin Seal. That would be inconsistent. Retsu no Sho did not say so, and Hamura would need tailed beast chakra in order to have one of those enhanced senjutsu modes. Also, it is possible to use Truth-Seeking Balls without the Six Paths Senjutsu, per Toneri and Obito. And do remember that both Hagoromo and Hamura used TSBs in their battle against the Ten-Tails (for how could they have the SPST without being the TT jinchuuriki?). Usage of the TSB is not an indicator of usage of the Six Paths Senjutsu, as far as I am concerned. Although related, they do not have a parent-derived technique relationship.
