I'm sure Hashirama's wife and his granddaughter Tsunade who interacted with him, including Tobirama and Sarutobi would've realized if something was off about Shodai.
And Madara fought Shodaime for his powers, but that doesn't mean that Madara acquired such powers right there and then. Hashirama defeated Madara, that's guaranteed, set in stone. What Madara used to survive the deathblows, we don't yet know, might've been Izanagi. Madara's main goal was to try to defeat Hashirama for his power, but he was incapable of defeating him, so he would've had to retreat. We don't know the circumstances of Hashirama's death, but most likely he died during the 1st ninja world war or prior to that, and most likely Madara was involved in his demise as well. He could've come up with some elaborate plan from the shadows and acquired Hashirama's physical energies during Shodai's death. Whether it was an actual transfer of the physical energies before Hashirama passed away, meaning during his death moment, or if it was dna implanted afterwards in a zetsu cloned body, we don't yet know all of this. But Madara didn't necessarily acquire Hashirama's physical energies right there and then at VOTE. That was the purpose of the vote fight. However he couldv'e done so anytime after that, since every1 thought he was dead already, he was most likely creating wars from the shadows to bring down each hokage.
Even then, I don't think he ever awakened the rinnegan. Just cause of having both physical and spiritual energies of Rikudou, doesn't guarantee a rinnegan awakening. Heavens bestow such power only to noble vessels of such power, when there is a need. Thus Madara's elaborate plan to destroy the whirlpool country, follow one of it's survivors of the uzumaki clan to Amegakure, implant them with his own spiritual energies, then create strife in that child's life, in order for the rinnegan to awaken so he could either manipulate that rinnegan wielder for his own purposes or snatch it later if need be.
Madara is truly a genius.
