^I mean, Tobirama was at his worst an aggressive diplomat. Madara was a straight up warmonger. Nothing debatable about that.

I think the reason why people just didn't trust a Uchiha is because of the Curse of Hatred. Even Tobirama was familiar with it, so it makes sense that words of a dangerous and unstable ideal shared by most of Uchiha were spread throughout the village and thus that bred distrust. With that ideal seemingly eradicated, a Uchiha Hokage is no longer taboo now.
