So, the Momoshiki was the one using his insane powers, not Boruto, who technically stayed unconcious while Momoshiki controlled his body. Hence, it's not like Boruto awakened new powers by being pushed too far. That's a distinction without a difference. Boruto still had a power boost regardless if he was in control of his body or not. It's no different than when Naruto went 4-Tails against Orochimaru, Kurama took full control of Naruto at the time. Are you going to deny that Naruto had a power boost during the confrontation? Boruto may have not have actively awakened the power boost, but it was still conveniently awakened when he was pushed too far.

Technically, his body became more powerful than Naruto or Sasuke at their age, but both of them weren't possessed by a godlike alien who can pop up any time he considers necessary. Although these two had Kurama and CS respectivelly, Kurama could only give a small fraction of power due to the seal, while the CS didn't have a mind of its own (if we don't count Oro). The bolded text is exactly the problem that this chapter introduced. In Part 1, Naruto demands chakra from Kurama and the chakra he can get is only a small percentage of the fox's power as you said. As for Sasuke, whenever he uses the CS he runs the risk of being incapacitated. Much later, he then had to be put in a near-death state just to advance his CS without dying. His CS level 2 is only on par with 1-Tailed Naruto. These boosts are not that significant compared to the rest of the verse in Part 1 (and are tiny compared to the rest of the verse in Part 2). Boruto, on the other hand, now has power that is on par with the two strongest shinobis in history at the age of 12, which is indeed a problem.
