Kurama gives Naruto most of his important abilities. Minato tweaked naruto's seal so that a little amount of kurama's chakra constantly leaked into naruto,as a result Naruto always had more chakra more than he would have if he wasn't a jinchuriki. No kurama no insane chakra capacity, no continuous sage mode, no healing factor, no chakra cloak, no enhanced physicals. With just sosp mode, he could not go up against six path characters, as he doesn't have the damage output to take down susanoo, wood golem, otsusuki's etc. Plus if he didn't have kurama, he would have died multiple times throughout the series. Yeah it would certainly be a lot harder for him probably as early as the Land of Waves arc to boot due to Kuruma not being there to heal him or give him any rage boosts.
