It's clear there's gonna be a lot of assumption in this discussion due to lack of info, but I don't see why people are assuming absorbing the God Tree is much of a boost. Yes, it clearly rejuvenated the two halves of Madara into one piece again, but if you think about it, what more could it have done? The God Tree he absorbed wasn't the actual, original God Tree. It was the empty form, or "shell" (much like the Gedo Statue), of the final version of the Ten Tails. And because Madara already had within him the Juubi, that meant the tree Obito had left wasn't much of anything really, maybe just some giant tree with a lot of natural energy. If the tree really had a significant amount of chakra within it to make Madara more powerful, that's literally creating chakra out of nowhere, if you think about it.

Also, there's no way Madara can seal Hagoromo because he doesn't have the Treasured Tools nor those Ying-Yang hand symbol thingies. On the other hand, Hagoromo already has multiple ways to seal him. And it can basically be confirmed that, on the ninjutsu side, Hagoromo is the clear winner. He probably has the advantage over everyone when it comes to the elements, and he has more chakra than Madara, and his Susanoo is bigger. (That may seem like a stale argument, but what can Madara do to get past his Susanoo? Hagoromo can see through his Limbo, too.)
