We did get to see neither their battle against Genma/Raida nor the one against Kimimaro, so we can't be sure about what was used during these fights and what wasn't. You're operating with mere assumptions, while Ma/Pa case clearly shows that the aspect of affecting particular people with genjutsu is completely controlable, so it doesn't influence your allies.

Regarging Chidori, again, the issue of user's hand sticking/being hold by the struck victim is surely a disadvantage when you battle mulpiple people at once. Even if the one is taken down, he would hold off the opponent enough for his teammates to kill him.
