No. Shukaku Gaara's Sand Tsunami absolutely dwarfs War Arc Gaara's Sand Tsunami and Gaara's usage of Sand against Deidara was larger in scale compared to his performance against Joki Boy, not to mention that his Sand manifested characteristics of the Shukaku against Deidara meaning that it certainly was influenced by the Shukaku.
I'm gonna drop this part of the argument, as it is controversial because of Shukaku. Still though, Gaara's ability to manipulate sand in any way necessary is facts.
How does that refute my argument? We literally see Gaara utilizing that amount of sand as being ineffective as he literally had to push Weakened Gengetsu against a wall to literally swarm him in large amounts of sand.
Please stop. Number of reasons Gaara didn't use vast amount of sand
1. Shinobi alliance were in close proximity.

2. The oil made any amount of sand useless

3. When Gaara started to use large amount of sand on Gengetsu, Joki boy came out

4. Joki boy is too fast for normal amount of sand. But Gaara had no choice to use little sand, as he would risk getting other ninjas killed.
I really can't believe I'm discussing the fact that Gaara can manipulate large amount of sand on his own, without Shukaku, anyway he wants.

Point is, Gaara can and will use sand Tsunami on Sakura, which she can't avoid.
Nope. That's what's shown against both Deidara and Joki Boy. You honestly think Gaara suddenly was able manipulate this Sand Tsunami:

And manipulated it to circle Deidara when we literally see that Gaara could only utilize a much smaller amount of Sand in order to do so?

Smh Gaara used that much sand because he
can manipulate the same amount of sand any way he wants. He would be stupid to move that much sand in the air and only use a fraction of it. And we know Gaara isn't stupid.
But let's see the actual size of this "small" amount of sand

This version of Gaara is inferior to his war arc version, where he stopped a meteor bigger than the sand village.
I missed these little ironies NB has to offer.
Sakura still penetrates Gaara's Sand.
cool shit, only to disperse the sand in the spot she punched, only to watch the sand reform.
Yeah, and Sakura did this:
