I guess he has to Edo Tensei Tsunade's lover and ask him how his spirit transformation works. However, the Jutsu you outlined aren't really that good, to be honest. Naruto has enough destructive force to terraform the Shinobi world already. What he needs is more Utility jutsu. Like Sasuke who can absorb Chakra, summon a number of special beasts, attract and repel things, and augment his body. His Mangekyou gives the extremely versatile Susanoo. Just his Dojutsu give him ~10 abilities (6 paths, teleport, Susanoo and Amaterasu/blaze release).

To be honest, i think Naruto has more to gain from a Tenseigan than a Rinnegan, considering it adds a Chakra Cloak and seems to grant a type of Truth Seeking Ball with a greater range of jutsu.

Hashirama's Wood Release was unique. it's not because he's a Transmigrant. He was the only shinobi known to have that particular Kekkei Genkai.

For Naruto, i think he could do with his own "9 paths of naruto" which involves 9 Wood Clones, each with the particular chakra of a Tailed Beast, empowered with Sage Mode and their respective Biju cloak. Unlike Shadowclones, the Wood clones seemed to be a lot more durable. Each Woodclone utilizes that particular Biju's special power, plus Naruto's knowledge of Jutsu. Naruto learns Raijin as a gapcloser, the 5 elemental dragon bullets, breath (like Hiruzen did during the 4th war) and a number of other jutsu (Earth Wall, Hiding in Earth and Hiding in Mist).

Lastly, i can't help but wonder this: Since Naruto can give vitality back to someone who has used the Death Gate, does that mean that Naruto can, for as long as he has the power to restore himself, use the Death Gate as a casual Eight Gates technique? So he just uses Death Gate, curbstomps whoever he wants and then turns it off again, completely healed? Hmmm... You've made very valid points. One of the qualms I had with Naruto was that he constantly spams the same techniques, even at the end his strongest jutsu were just bigger versions of rasenshuriken. But I like my Rikudō Shōten Mode because I wanted Naruto to bear more resemblance to Hagoromo without completely ripping him off. Admittedly the Hokage no Ikari jutsu is very generic but I like the Bōkyaku no Akatsuki jutsu. It resembles Hagoromos Creation of all Things jutsu and compliments Naruto's pacifist nature. Unlike most of his jutsu (which just blows shit up) this jutsu doesen't maim but defeats enemies while leaving them untouched. Yet you are correct, Naruto should use more utility jutsu considering he has twelve nature transformations. So I really like your idea, it makes full use of his ninjutsu prowess and a powerful evolution for Naruto's form.
