I never said that Strength of a Hundred: Creation Rebirth would negate the Eight Gates entirely, only that the enhanced healing would make it easier for the body to continue using the Eight Gates, because it repairs the damage they do to the body as it happens. Though I hadn't considered it at the time, Sage Mode's properties could stack with the Eight Gates enough that the user could surpass the performance of the Gate of Death, so actually opening it could be left optional, or at least in reserve, which increases the chances of survival significantly. Even if the Gate of Death is used, actually dying from it's use would take longer due to 100:CB, especially with SM active.

The main issue of using SM in combination with the other jutsu I mentioned is that since the body is producing and expending so much chakra, it would be require an matching amount of nature energy to sustain, and would be used up even faster. This drastically reduces the amount of time you could spend in SM.
