Oh boy you've started a bloody war.

I watched The Last about two weeks ago and SPOILERS.. I think Naruto cannot use SOSP mode anymore since SOSP requires the chakra of all tailed beasts which was exhausted during Naruto and Sasuke's fight. Although Kishimoto made a point that he doesn't need that boost since his Nine-Tails Sage Mode powered up by Natural Energy compensates for the gulf in power. Also if you carefully read about TSB and its capabilities it has been mentioned that they are tangible objects (like weapons) which loses control and cannot regenerate when it is more than 70 meters from the user. Naruto lost a lot of TSB in his fight with Kaguya (which explains why he was only able to conjure up three TSB in the Sasuke fight). Or it maybe possible that Kishi didn't want to show off TSB in case that it may confuse viewers who haven't read the manga.
