I think it's safe to say that while the genes would be bred out pretty fast, in Boruto's case his father was a jinchuriki and so genetic degradation of Kurama's power would go much slower than for, say, Tsunade.

Plus, it's not necessarily guaranteed that the child of a Jinchuriki has such powers. Genes are not so easily predicted. It could be that Tsunade has genes that suppress the expression of whiskers, or that she lacks the genes that express the whiskers (yet has the genes to form them).
