I was thinking about how Sage Mode (SM) works and I find it unlikely Naruto will merge BM and SM, both because of plot reasons and because it would prove to hard for him to do so.
-Sage Mode is the perfect balance between 3 chakra components; Yin, Yang and Nature. By adding Kurama it would either add a 4th component (only Yin) or a 4th and a 5th (in case Naruto does get the other half currently with Minato).
-In any case this means more than 3 components.
-Not only this would be obviously quite harder to balance and achieve it would also carry several problems to the plot:
-If Naruto has to include Kurama's chakra he will need to upgrade/uphold the amount of chakra spent every moment to maintain the Sage Mode, because Kurama's chakra is enormous. This would mean alot more prep time, which in mid battle is little probable to happen or it would mean a far less durable SM time.
-In addition to the above adding the 4th and 5th chakra components would mean that the remaining components would be reduced from a 3rd to a 5th, i.e. there would be less Nature chakra in SM, rendering SM less effective against Obito.
So adding that all up it makes little sense for Kishi to merge the two basically because it would mean a whole lot of trouble for Naruto to manage it and even more importantly because it would not help Naruto.
The beauty of Nature chakra in Sage Mode is that Naruto can gather just the right amount to match his own chakra, adding Kurama to the mix would mean either to draw little Kurama chakra, why do you want to use a tail beast if your going to use little chakra of it? or the need to boost his own chakra reserves to match Kurama's and then gather a massive amount of Nature chakra - which is atm impossible.
