The mirror is well imbubed In the Susanoo. That I cannot agree with. You can't cherry pick things that that don't agree with your narrative. YM is supposed to adapt to the snake's attack, yet it didn't. That cannot be downplayed or explained. Only result we can logically conclude is that the YM is overhyped.

@Thekillman's point still stands though. If the YM is that powerful, Itachi should have no problem starting every fight with it. That would negate any attack your opponent would use, therefore it would guarantee Itachi never being at a disadvantage. Itachi would still have to use other techniques to win but behind the YM, as you and a few users have hyped up, he would have nothing to worry about. So why did this not happen then?
