The fuinjutsu problem isn't really a problem. I don't see Hagoromo even remotely thinking of doing this without Hamura's guidance and oversight, seeing how this move was risky but the alternative even worse. Hamura would likely participate in this, helping break the seal without destroying the moon.

Besides, you yourself pointed out a contradiction: If Madara could break the seal with just his Rinnegan, why would Hagoromo not be able to do the same as Juubi jinchuriki AND having Rinnegan?

The second point you bring up, there's no point in Toneri mentioning this. Hamura would certainly have cooperated with Hagoromo. Considering the scope and danger of what they were doing, in fact, i'm fairly certain it would be highly secret. Either way, there's no point to be made that the statue was briefly used by Hagoromo. In fact, i think there's basically no faster way for Hamura to drop the moon than learning Hagoromo suddenly called back the Gedo, as he would have had to do some heavy convincing to Hamura that no, he wasn't being controlled by the Juubi wanting his body back.

We also know for a fact that Hagoromo had to have had the Gedo, and we know from Naruto and Sasuke sealing Kaguya how Six Paths Chibaku Tensei works. We know from cases like Naruto that even only having the chakra of the Juubi, Hagoromo would still be called Juubi Jinchurki. We know for a fact that Six Paths Chibaku Tensei separates the flesh from chakra, and we know for a fact that Hagoromo would be dead in an instant if he released the Biju.

In fact, i'd go so far as to say this version makes the most sense. Why on earth would Six Paths Chibaku Tensei work on a being that can't be killed, can't be hurt by some of the most powerful attacks? Because it destroys the foundation of the target, by ripping out it's soul from the flesh. It explains why hagoromo would take the frankly insane risk of becoming Juubi Jinchuriki after spending so long fighting it: The way the jutsu worked, he had no choice or the Juubi's spirit would roam free. It would explain why he can both have made the moon with the Juubi inside and yet be jinchuriki (since either half is the Juubi). It explains why the Rinnegan can summon the Gedo despite the fact that otherwise, this is insanity. It could even explain how Madara undid the seal, if Hagoromo and Hamura broke it and Hagoromo himself remade it. It explains the seemingly contradictory stories.
