Exactly. Minato isn't Naruto or Sasuke, he can't perform all fo these high level techniques one right after another without significant drain on his chakra reserves. In the end, Minato simply ran out of options. He knew he couldn't simply teleport the creature hundreds of miles away from Konoha, because then Tobi/Madara would scoop the beast up, and the attack would occur once again. Additionally, he probably knew the failure rating of traditionally sealed Jinchuuriki and how often they go berserk and end up destroying parts of their village (the Uzumakis are the only safe option for the beast), so simply placing the beast in Naruto (or back in Kushina) wasn't really an option (especially considering that Tobi/Madara could potentially come back and break the seal once again).
No, Kishimoto showed, quite adequetly, that Shiki Fuuin was the only real option. If there was no Tobi/Madara to deal with, then the fight might have turned out differently. But because of Tobi/Madara's obsession with the beast, sealing it within Naruto and the Death God was the only option...
That being said, who else expects either Madara to summon the death god in order to get the Kyuubi half or for Naruto to find a way to get the other half from the death god if his half of the Kyuubi is taken?

One of the biggest reasons I always secretly though Danzou and Madara could be one and the same (or at least connected) is because of just how much they failed at everything they wanted...
