Six Paths Sage mode is granted by Hagoromo's Six Paths Power of Light as shown in the manga and stated in Shonen Jump. That is how Naruto initially and Asura obtained Six Paths senjutsu.

Six Paths senjutsu is also obtained through the power of the all the Biju.

That's how Obito and Madara awakened it and is the reason why Naruto retained Six Paths senjutsu even after losing the Six Paths Power of Light according to Shikamaru Hiden.

In Toneri's case, he obtained Six Paths senjutsu by combining the power of Hamura's 2 bloodlines. Otsutsuki's chakra+Hyuga's Byakugan.

In Hagoromo and Hamura's case exclusively, they combine the Six Paths chakra that they inherited from Kaguya with natural energy in order to use Six Paths senjutsu.

Truthseeker orbs are simply made of Six Paths Sage chakra+all elements. In Toneri's case, he didn't achieve six path senjutsu, nothing said he did, what he achieved was the Tenseigan. That is what he achieved after combining his DNA of Otsutsuki and Hyuga. Nothing said it was Six Path Senjutsu. Being Jubi's Jinchuriki is another way yes. What Shikamaru believes is, besides being given the power from Hagoromo, Naruto also needed the other 8 tailed beasts chakra to have Six Path Sage Mode.

Naruto losing the Yang sealing power doesn't mean he would lose six path sage mode. Hagoromo gave Naruto half of his chakra to rivals the yang that Madara have. He then gave naruto the Yang sealing power, which is one part of Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei. That is what Naruto might have lost, the Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei as so did Sasuke. After that Naruto still have Hagoromo's other half of his chakra. Those balls are made up of 5 elements with a special requirement that is of either Jubi Jinchuriki, given the power by Hagoromo, (Naruto's and Asura's case) or the Tenseigan.

Also no You don't need to be given the yang half of Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei to have Six Path Sage Mode or the Senjutsu. You just need to be given it by Hagoromo. Naruto and Sasuke were the only two that received Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei Because it was to seal Kaguya. Asura was never given that Seal. Sasuke unlocked his Rinnegan because he was given the Yin half of Hagoromo Chakra (not the seal)
