I believe both parties are partially right. The biggest confusion and uncertainty stems from these things:
 * Is RSM/SPSM the eyes or the cloak? You claim that basically it's sort of both, just the eyes was an initial version that slowly built up into the actual mode with the cloak as Naruto produced more Jubi chakra or so
 * others may claim SPSM is the eyes, with the cloak being Kurama Mode on top of SPSM
 * some may also argue that Naruto no longer has that power, which is kinda supported by the absence of TSO/TSB post-war, no flying and no communication with and powers usage of the other Tailed Beasts
 * others claim Naruto has that power permanently because Hagoromo said Naruto is a meeting place
 * next Naruto has displayed several different cloaks post Part II. era ... The Last cloak is confirmed to be Kurama Mode (with Sage Mode), but looks different... possibly because it entails the whole Kurama, not just Yang or Yin halves ... then there is the Gaiden cloak that also got adapted into the anime... 2 different cloaks in the Boruto movie and anime and 2 different cloaks in Boruto manga

Some might say that the absence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence, although I would say that in this case the absence of evidence is the evidence of absence... if Naruto still had those powers, he would be using them.

As for what RSM/SPSM actually is, I believe both are correct. It's the eyes and the cloak is Kurama Mode, but only when Naruto donned Kurama Mode over RSM/SPSM did the Six Paths Senjutsu back pattern thingy become visible.
