Bit of a late point, but it is confirmed that Nagato doesn't feel the pain that the paths experience, at least physically. In the Konoha assault, Ibiki the torturer attempted to interrogate the female animal path in his torture chamber space-time technique. He squeezed her body using metal wires and cogs, and she didn't even flinch, and she proceeded to talk throughout, insinuating that Nagato was perfectly fine.

In terms of Tsukuyomi, it wouldn't make sense that Nagato would be affected. Even if Tsukuyomi could transfer through the chakra threads between the Pains and Nagato, which I doubt, we don't know if Nagato would even be affected by it in the first place. The only evidence surrounding this is evidence against it. 1st piece of evidence is the Rinnegan's immunity to infinite Tsukuyomi, an undoubtedly stronger genjutsu than Tsukuyomi, and 2nd piece of evidence is the fact that only sound genjutsu has been used on the paths of Pain, not visual genjutsu. This leads me to believe that Itachi's use of visual genjutsu would not work against Pain.

I know that the absence of evidence, around Pain being susceptible to Tsukuyomi, does not constitute evidence of absence, but given the evidence against such a thing, I'm inclined to disagree against Itachi's ability to use a genjutsu on Pain.
