Not really. We know that the only damage that Hashirama's healing can't repair is lost limbs. There is no proof that he won't be able to shrug off a kunai to the brain. And when has a kunai defeated an important character anyway?

And I get what you're saying regarding Jiraiya and Kabuto, but in terms of the battle's length Hashirama can maintain Sage Mode just as long. We've already seen him activate it almost seamlessly when against Madara which implies he can accumulate NE pretty fast. And in Jiraiya's case, his Sage Mode fails the minute Fukasaku and Shima are knocked off his shoulders.

Edo Tensei exerts control over the brain. Genjutsu, no matter how it's taken, assaults the brain. Obviously, if you can break edo tensei, no matter how, then you can also break genjutsu. It makes sense really - how did Koto break Itachi out of Kabuto's control? And sure, while Orochimaru used Senju cells to control Hashirama, he was still surprised that he broke through it which means that was not supposed to happen. Plus, Tobirama's a Senju and if Naruto genetics have any semblance to real life, he should have broken through it too.

I don't think anyone who's broken Edo Tensei is stronger than Hashirama, no. Mainly because we knew as soon as Sasori was revived that Kabuto's Edo Tensei was fairly unreliable.
