Them not using SP abilities was because Obito knew the Shinobi alliance was already aware of the Six Paths abilities, coupled with the fact that he was too busy trying to keep the TB's under control. It was literally explained in those chapters. Nagato will not be trying to keep TB's under control, and Minato does NOT know the Six Path abilities.. there is no intel. You are making a lot of assumptions with no proof here. There is literally nothing that says Nagato can't use them without being synced to the Gedo Mazo and a cripple. The OP did not say he was not allowed to use the SPoP(they are just tools in his arsenal). Nagato has the upper hand here and 8/10 he wins this. Also, Nagato since he will not be a cripple nor synced to the Gedo Mazo will not need to hide away either if he does not want to, just like how Obito did not hide away.
