@Senjutsu Sage Raikages have chakra comparable to Tailed Beasts, Itachi has nowhere near that.

1. His MS strain literally limits him to using MS only a few times before needing rest, and a few more times before meeting death.

2. He has never once in his entire life abused Tsukuyomi. He's used it several times throughout his life, but that's not a feat for his chakra levels because he just recharges during the years between uses) an actual feat of chakra stamina would be if he used it several times in the same battle.

3. No, he doesn't contradict himself. After using Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, Itachi noted himself to be too tired to fight Jiraiya. That doesn't mean that he will die after the next usage, that means he's much too far from maximum capacity to properly fight someone like Jiraiya, especially since Jiraiya was operating relatively fresh. He doesn't contradict this during his fight with Sasuke; he uses 3 MS techs. Then goes blind when he whips up Susanoo. Then dies. That's completely normal and doesn't indicate anywhere near Raikage level. Keep in mind a Perfect Susanoo is on the level of a Tailed Beast. Itachi is way below that.

4. Maintaining Susanoo til death isn't impressive since he maintained it for like what, 5 minutes then keeled over? I mean kudos to the guy for fighting til the end to get Orochimaru, but he already was trying to die in that fight, so obviously he'd be using his Susanoo past what his normal limits are.

5. Itachi very rearely uses the MS. This is demonstrated by his eyesight. His eyes are only very blurry by the time he fought Sasuke. COmpare this to Sasuke, who used his MS extensively in on two different days (vs Bee and in the Five Kage Summit) and his eyesight was already very blurry. That means over the course of the years since he got the MS, he only used his MS a total amount of times similar to te total amount of times that Sasuke used his within the span of like, a month at most.

7. Novel feats don't supersede manga or even anime.

Curse Mark Sasuke didn't fight as smart as Itachi, and also had touse the one Body Replacement tech that used up a large portion of his chakra as well, as noted by Itachi.

Yeah, Itachi has nowhere near Raikage level chakra. His MS limits per day are similar to the non Uchiha Kakashi. Even Kakashi is noted to have more chakra than Itachi per the databooks (accounting for sickness. Believing that Itachi would somehow have more chakra than Sasuke, who already has larger than average reserves and is a good benchmark for where his brother would be at without sickness, is ridiculous lol
