Actually if you look back at the manga, Naruto was making physical contact with the beasts every time they gave him chakra. The only differences from Naruto giving Sakura chakra was that the agreement happened through telepathy and it wasn't altered to match Naruto.
 * we should also take into account that Naruto never used any of the other Tailed Beasts abilities until he had 6PSM

We have seen that when it comes to physical traits and Tailed Beasts is that it doesn't typically happen with the Jin(except 10 tails), but their children. Naruto, Boruto, Himawari, and Gaara were born with distinct tailed beast characteristics. What happened with Gin/Kin is very similar to what happened with Sasuke/Madara eye implants, Madara/Kabuto/Danzo DNA implants.
 * This applies to Hagoromo as well, although in a slightly different manner.

I edited my last statement. It was probably too late for you to see at that point. Ill say it again though. Naruto is different from either of the classifications you offered, though he has qualities of both, he can use the beasts abilities like Gin/Kin, but is the chakra is non-self-regenerative like Sakura.
