While i like aspects of your theory, i think there are a few too many big leaps.

Sure Mitsuki is the moon to boruto's sun, but the shadow to illuminate could simply be Hokage sarada, period. We've seen that the Hokage is usually a spot with the "sun" type in command and the "moon" type as the one working in the shadows. That same sun/moon motif was there with Naruto/Sasuke as well. In this case, Orochimaru could be advocating a wise/kind/pragmatic (Sarada/Boruto/Mitsuki) combination with the Wise one the hokage. Or it could simply mean that Sarada wasn't in Orochimaru's view and he solely wished to recreate the Sasuke/Naruto dynamic here.
