The main problem is that we don't see enough of Chojuro's abilities to see him as a world level power, the same goes for Kurotsuchi, as neither had a huge personal battle in the 4th war to establish their powerlvl and personal growth, Darui kinda had that against the gold and silver brothers.

We do see some of what Suigetsu's capable of, but his powerlvl put him at jonin lvl, not kage. Besides, being a known failure at a mission, having betrayed his village and serving orochimaru, would pretty much disqualify him from being elected kage, even in Kiri which traditionally elected the strongest warrior (look at page, leadership abilities are a bonus, but not a canon requirement for Kirigakure).

a thing strikes me as funny, there's a peculisar contrast between chojuro and suigetsu in their personal development, where the latter started out as "mister fealess", threatening Sasuke out of the blue, taking on Jugo, Suigetsu became more cowardly over time. Chojuro is the exact opposite, starts out as nervous and insecure but becomes more brave as time passes.

but bottomline: Suigetsu replacing Chojuro as kage, unrealistic.
