If Minato wanted to get stronger he will have to retire and I don't think he will want to do that. The Hokage only gives a Shinobi's first mission directly. So that cuts time. The Hokage also has his council who helps.

Tbh, I think it's only Naruto who was that swamped as Hokage, to the point he couldn't handle it. Because he was the Hokage in a world that had just massively changed. Peace treaties, technological advances, etc. It was probably just Narutop that had that kind of workload. Well, maybe Kakashi too.
