If he didn't have the 9 tails i don't see him ever making the Shadowclone Jutsu in the ways he does. He'd just be like other shinobi's seeing how naruto never had good chakra control. The rasengan is supposed to be a one handed weapon yet he needs 2 clones to even perform the technique much like Rasenshuriken. So it actually more of a detriment due to time needing for it to create as opposed to someone who's great at maintaining chakra control and who can create it fast like Jiraiya, Minato, Kakashi who doesn't need shadowclones to create the rasengan.

Wrong Naruto was specifically said to have 4 times the chakra of a high level jonin like Kakashi FOUR TIMES that was before any upgrades or super training. Naruto didn't use kyuubi chakra to create his shadow clones he used his OWN chakra creating the shadow clones divided his chakra up and weakened the seal on kurama's cage but again he created those shadow clones with his own chakra
