Yeah, those are about my feelings regarding it. Before Obito’s attack, the only time anyone had really faced Kurama was Hashirama and Mito in the Valley of the End, and no one else was really around to see it.
I think the (maybe not canon, but reasonable) reason Mito and Kushina weren’t ostracized for being jinchuuriki like Naruto was, is bc the Kyuubi never like actually got loose and tried to trample the village into nothingness, it was kinda abstract like “Mm yeah she has a giant fox sealed in her, pretty wild right?” instead of “That damn fox killed my brother, father, and I had to watch my mother be crushed under a building and its ‘sealed’ in tHAT CHILD T H E R E,,,,,” as it was with Naruto.
