Characters not using their full powers after the big climactic battle is kind of a general trope in fiction, isn't it? For a while Naruto and Sasuke will probably stick to their basic abilities, maybe busting out a Rasenshuriken or incomplete Susanoo here and there, but we likely won't get to see their full end-game powers again until the next major threat shows up. And depending on where the anime is going from here, we might not see such a threat until the inevitable Boruto series begins. As far as we know, there weren't any major world-ending threats that showed up between Toneri and Momoshiki.
