Are people dumb or what? Orochimaru tells Mitsuki not to show his full powers for a reason. If Mitsuki were to go all out, he would be declared a threat to the village. He wants to stay in the village, so he can't show his full powers because he doesn't want Naruto and the rest of the village to think him dangerous. I'm sure he will use it eventually, don't worry folks. Probably to save Boruto or whatever...

For his statement that he wouldn't beat Shinki even in Sage Transformation, the reason is simple: Mitsuki was already almost out of chakra, that's all.
