in the kaguya backstory the shinju is stated to be a parasite it absorbs nature energy from a planet and slowly poisons the planet it is absorbing nature energy from. the fruit the shinju produces is not so much a chakra fruit but a fruit that possesses a large amount of nature energy. all life forms have physical and spiritual energy which when combined makes chakra. when kaguya ate that fruit, the power of the nature energy in it turned her into a god.

also half of kurama doesn't mean he is half as weak. only a fraction of a tailed beast is needed to allow the entire tailed beast to be reborn under specific factors IE if a person were to be given some of kurama's chakra it would be possible for said chakra to influence and possess the person who has his chakra and eventually turn into kurama. naruto having half of kurama's chakra allows naruto to use all of kurama's power he simply has less chakra volume, which means Less stamina not less power
