But Rinnegan or not, I think you're grossly overestimating Obito. That guy had one of the most ultra-haxx techniques in Narutoverse. Which then raises the question about why he even needed the Akatsuki at all? With all the knowledge, skills, jutsus and cunning he learned from Madara, combined with his Kamui intangibility, Obito could have easily taken out all the jinchurikis without any help from Akatsuki whatsoever. He could infiltrate Konoha without anyone even noticing (except Itachi, that smartass mofo). All he had to do was manipulate Nagato and Konan, and he could have easily caught all the jinchurikis in a matter of months.

Seeing what he did to Yagura, Obito could have simply tracked down the jins and then Kamui'd them to his dimension. There, he could have used genjutsu: sharingan on the jins, and then extracted the beasts while the jins were happily dreaming away in a genjutsu. The only downside would have been the extended number of days required to extract the bijuu from the jinchuriki. We saw that with 9 Akatsuki members, it took 3 days to extract a bijuu. With only Obito, Nagato and Konan, it would have taken much much longer. But all that extended time is nothing compared to the 16 years Obito took to capture the bijuu, which, on hindsight, doesn't make much sense.
