Despite achieving the sage mode, it's still Naruto we are talking about. He's not a famous thinker and tactician. But if it ends up taking out a couple of Pains, then it was also a good tactical decision. In the end you should always attack with enough force to defeat the enemy, unless it's a special situation like a diversion.
