Actually, in the Boruto movie novel, it was stated that Momoshiki (transformed) could surely hold his own against either Naruto or Sasuke alone. So no, Sasuke's help wasn't negligible. There, it was said that Naruto/Sasuke case doesn't simply mean that 1 + 1 = 2 shinobi in strength. They were that powerful against Momoshiki just because they were the trusted comrades able to perfectly cooperate in battle. Also, I think Momoshiki didn't mean that he wanted to kill Naruto, but, on the contrary, that he wanted to spare him while killing everyone else. Otherwise, there was no sense for him to disable Naruto with the chakra receivers, similar to the way Pain used.
