<p>I think being a "perfect" jinchuriki has less to do with ability (which is the criteria for a Kage), but pure chakra and powerful will to suppress the beasts instincts. The former is precisely the reason Uzumakis are perfect candidates, but the latter requires time and effort. Seal is a precautionary (and often, interfering) element as neither perfect jinchurikis like killer B nor ten-tail jinchurikis use seals at all.
