Obviously, it doesn't apply to the Edo Tensei since technically Edo-Hashi/Edo-Madara were reanimated in the bodies of some unrelated people. Madara essentially recreated Hagoromo's body eventually by use of TT. Which was why physical condition for reincarnation of hagoromo's soul was satisfied which was why hagoromo 's soul came from pure land to earth, and chose to talk with Naruto-Sasuke to stop kaguya's revival.

Otherwise, neither Madara nor Hashi could be reanimated, since they would have the same souls as Indra/Asura and Sasuke/Naruto respectively, which wouldn't allow them to be summoned to the world of living because of their souls still staying within Sasuke/Naruto. Note here Only madara got rebirth (he already broke that transmigration rule stuff, abt which hagoromo talked abt since he clearly stated Madara was no any longer indra's reincarnate) Hashirama wasn't and I doubt that jutsu would have worked since naruto was around.
