That interview talks about stuff around the Chunin exams. We already knew that Sasuke was added by request of his editor and that Kishimoto was still finding his ground. Early Installment Weirdness is pretty common. That doesn't mean it's true for everything. It's clear from things like Hiruzen's memories as well as cases like Obito/Tobi, as well as Itachi as mentioned in that very interview, that Kishimoto did in fact plan things.

You're still talking about Minato going off to find a medic in the middle of an extremely dangerous situation. Obito also murdered a bunch when he got past the barrier. When he appeared at Konoha, Kurama attacked him immediately followed by Minato getting attacked by Obito. Please, point at a moment where Minato could go off on a sidequest to save his wife, when he was already busy saving a village and himself.
