Never once was a incapacitating gejutsu used on them when it could have been. What sense would it make that Sharingan genjutsu could affect the Rinnegan when the Rinnegan is basically a more powerful version of the Sharingan?

A lot of sense since the Rinnegan is not just strictly stronger than the Sharingan. It has much worse vision for instance. It can be blocked completely by things like smoke bombs while the Sharingan can see through some rocks, like when Itachi and Sasuke fight Kabuto. Your suggestion was baseless when you first made it and continues to be baseless now. Why didn't they have a squad of 100 Genjutsu users going through the World War knocking out all the Edo Tensei zombies? Not because Edo Tensei zombies must obviously be immune to Genjutsu, but because that would be freaking boring.
