^Sage Mode alone, yes.

Combined with Tailed Beast Mode, on the other hand, would not only speed up the gathering process of Nature Energy, but also boost Sage Mode, meaning that Minato would have longer time with Sage Mode.

Also, the whole "it didn't happen in canon" is kind of meaningless, since Edo!Minato and Edo!Itachi never met in canon either. Heck, most of versus threads are situations that have never happened in canon.
