When has shinra tensei ever killed anyone of importance? IT failed to kill most fodders, a weakened tsunade, and katsuyu clones. Even kakashi tanked several shinra tensei and he isn't exactly known for durability and endurance. Personally, I think the damage from shinra tensei comes from crashing into the ground/other debris. Which makes sense, the frogs are massive so they crash into the ground with more force. Of course repeated shinra tensei can kill someone, like it nearly killed choza and like how it one shotted some fodders, but when you are facing someone with S/T ninjutsu obito literally never has to touch the ground. and with his durability and regen there is no reason why he would die to ST at all, he can avoid it with ease.
