Well, Madara had enough chakra even without ET body, as we remember, he was able to go on pair with Hashi (whose chakra reserves were so immense they'd been compared with ones of the full Kurama) twenty-for hours non stop. And it must've been increased with Hashi's DNA powerup. Also Madara still had his Susanoo defence, which is a harsh problem for Gaara's sand, and even if Madara would be struck by it, he still had Hashi's op healing. So I see no reason why 5 Kage would drastically change their tactict against non-reanimated Madara - they'd just throw away their attemps to seal him, and that's all. Besides, even against reanimated Madara (with no Susanoo defence active) sand crush would be pretty useful cause it would deal enough damage to him to disable and then seal for sure.
