Naruto recreating the Ten-Tails Chakra doesn't require him merging the tailed Beasts. He simply needs to meld his Chakra with all of their own, recreating the Ten-Tail's power by acting as a perfect Jinchuriki for them simultaneously would allow him to blossom Six Paths Sage Power. It does require merging the Tailed Beasts. This is why Madara/Obito went through so much trouble to seal them in the Gedo and revive the Juubi before becoming its Jinchuriki.

Sage Mode is attained once one can produce Sage Chakra. Sage Transformation is a means to attain Sage Mode though it happens at the biological level. It's two methods of achieving the same result, manifesting Sage Chakra. And Sage Jutsu is just the manipulation of that Sage Chakra. Kinda sort of. Sage Transformation doesnt achieve Sage Mode. Its a seperate form of Senjutsu with unique applications and abilities.
