That's too much of an assumption to make tbh.

This is my explaination as to why rinnegan users didn't use it more often later in the series. Case in point: Naruto's Lava Rasenshuriken hit Madara as his concerntration was broken from the shock of his limbo being dodged, and even if it wasn't Naruto and his attack was moving too fast for there to be time for him to set up the Chakra absorption technique. There is admittedly little evidence that this is the case though so this is just my best guess.

That would be cool but remember the first time madara got reanimated and fought against the shinobi alliance. Gaara took madara by surprise by reaching into his susanoo and yanking him out of it and naruto immediately feed him a rasenshuriken but yet he was able to absorb it. In that moment his concentration should have been all over the place but it didn't hinder him from absorbing so I don't see lack of concentration as the reason why rinnegan users don't absorb these top tier techniques.
