Since they're drawing upon nature's power,

but are natural abominations themselves (Edo Tensei is stated to upset the balance, etc.)

The Hashirama/Madara debate will rage on if that's Hashirama's excuse for not using Sage Mode.

Because the power of Sage Mode is being perfectly in sync with nature. (That's how they sense.)

But Edos are abominations that don't belong in the natural order.

I believe they can. As long as they're not being controlled by Orochimaru/can act on their own will.

Being that Nagato still had all of the Rinnegan abilities including the ability to dictate over life and death, I assume Sage Mode is still possible.

I believe Edo's can enter Sage Mode.
The Jinchuuriki were able to enter the Initial Transformation Mode.

This ^
I guess it's easier if they are not controlled by someone to use sage mode

there is no definite answer only wild guesses

although madara said the he cannot become a juubi jinchuuriki while being an edo, and the juubi is a mass of natural energy
you can interpret this as edo zombies not being able to accommodate natural energy inside them and then not being able to use sage mode
shame that jiraiya never got reanimated, then we would have found out

Sage Mode is a skill and power that a user learns through training. The upsetting the balance claim was a metaphorical figure of speech. What they mean by that is the Edo users are defying life/death and disrespecting the dead's right to rest in peace. At least that's my interpretation of the claim.
