I think as hokage he expected to defend Konoha against tough opponents and he did not take into account the administrative aspect of the job. So there hasn't been anyone to push him to the limit like when he was younger and it's event in gaiden he looked bored. I mean momoshiki wasn't that difficult since he didn't take that long to be defeated.

IMO a fully powered madara would be the perfect test for hokage naruto.

Not just Naruto, other characters can also perform better once pushed to limit

Leaving all jutsus aside for Madara, as stated earlier

I don't know about other characters but through out the manga naruto became know as the ninja that never quits hence the title the " the gutsy ninja". IMO apart from his strength he is the most determined ninja in the manga. Currently no one knows just how strong hokage naruto is since there has been no one to extend him. So I bet on naruto to defeat a fully powered madara in a full on fight without naruto having to worry about protecting anyone.
