I am so confused. 1: As i said, Sasuke doesn't seem to be looking for some mystical presence. He's looking for actual physical artefacts, which means that he can find them without the Rinnegan. He just can't decipher it without the Rinnegan.

2: Sasuke does need his Rinnegan to find traces since it's how he traverses dimensions, and it's clear that he's looking for Kaguya's traces in her own dimensions. Doesn't mean it needs to be active all the time.

3: the sharingan would still help him, since it would allow him to find the objects he's looking for. It wouldn't hurt.

Lastly, so far in every single fight since The Last, Naruto has gone into SPSM without fail against both inferior and superior enemies. Like i said, only SPSM defends against TSB's and naruto tanked TSB's in the last. So for all intents and purposes, he used SPSM in The Last.
