INOSHIKACHOU- YES
Kiba-Hinata-Shino- YES
LEE-NEJI-TEN TEN- YES (Iffy on Ten Ten but she is a master summoner of weapons an not many jonin can do that an use them)
Of course the Sanin reborn are jonin and beyond.

Ok not all. If you call Ino, Tenten, and Hinata a Jounin you must be reaching. These chars haven't produced adequate jounin level feats.
Ino Mind Transfer Technique, her strongest is Chunin Lvl at best. Tenten has no feats, she is more of a tool. You could call her a Jounin if she showed more usage of the Six Paths tools but that never happened.
Hinata is boderline Jounin but hasn't really crossed that bar yet. Her Twin Lion Fist her strongest attack along with the Air Palm hasn't been very consistent. Tripping over a rock, not a Jounin style either.
Everyone else including Sai is comfortably either Jounin or higher.

They were all pretty much front line combatants during the largest and most devastating war of their generation. All of them should've been promoted to Jonin after that. And yet only Shikamaru and Sakura made the rank after the war.
A little over half.
Kiba - Not so much.
Lee - Definitely.
Sai - Barely.
Hinata - Definitely.
Ino - No so much.
Shino - Definitely.
Shikamaru - Definitely.
Choji - Barely.
TenTen - Not so much.
Sakura - Not so much, Only in medical Nin, but that's it. Forgetting to breathe is not a jounin style either and is pretty much outright pathetic.
.
At the end of the day, ranks don't determine your power and are pretty much irrelevant.

How? She was portrayed as weak in part 2. Below her younger sister. She is also a Chunin as an adult.A little over half.

Tenten: has the sage tools, was able to defeat Kakuzu with minimal effort.
Neji: already was Jounin.
Ino: Nope.
Shikamaru: Definitely smart enough, but far too lazy to try
Chouji: Yes, butterfly mode.
Shino: Nope
Hinata: Nope, but close.
Kiba: Nope.

The thing with Jonin ranks in the Leaf village are wonky. There are rules but it's almost subjective.
For instance:
Kakashi made Jonin at 12 because he created Chidori. Naruto created Futon Rasenshuriken and perfected it with sage mode, but he didn't get promoted.
Asuma tells Shikamaru that a person can be promoted to Jonin if they master 2 chakra natures. Shikamaru and Sakura have no elemental jutsus in their arsenals, but they still made Jonin after the war.
Shizune was promoted to Jonin (presumably by Tsunade), but Kabuto who worked for Danzo and by all rights is superior to Shizune in every way when it comes to medical nin, espionage and assassinations (pre-sage mode and pre-joining Orochimaru) and yet Kabuto never progressed past Genin.
Kurenai was 27 when she made Jonin, at the start of Naruto Part 1. Kakashi said she was recently appointed during the Chunin Exams arc. And yet Konohamaru made Jonin at a younger age than his aunt did, and Konohamaru is a bumbling boob of a shinobi as an adult.
I'd honestly like to know what criteria it takes to make Jonin, because given the list of characters who made it, and who didn't, it seems like a f*cked up system.

Yeah, like 8-10 years after the war. It was a given that Naruto would become Hokage after he defeated Pein, but ninjas like Lee, Kiba, Tenten, Ino, Choji, Sai, and Hinata were left to twist in the wind until Gaiden before we learned their ranks. Most of which haven't progressed since they were 15 years old.

And that means before becoming a Kage Naruto became a Chunin and Jonin at some point.
Only Hinata's rank was revealed.

Well actually, Naruto made the jump from Genin to Hokage, without climbing the ladder. According to Kishi. Kage is a rank that can be bestowed by either a previous Kage, Damiyo or a vote of the council of Jonins of the village.
You have to graduate the Academy to make Genin. Jump through hoops in multiple scenarios to become Chunin. Fulfill various unspecified criteria to become Jonin. But Kage, you can just be picked by those in power.
Hashirama chose Tobirama.
Tobirama chose Hiruzen, in the middle of a mission no less.
Hiruzen chose Minato.
Jonin and Elders confirmed Tsunade.
Kakashi was likely picked by Tsunade.
And Naruto picked by Kakashi.
EDIT to add:
Lee was confirmed to be a Jonin by Gaiden/Boruto.
