Actually, the bringer of darkness technique blinds their target, regardless of their skill level. If Sasuke is blind, how is he going to use his Rinnegan to see through the genjutsu? So yeah, it would work against Sasuke. This would render most of Sasuke's abilities useless for a while. Hashirama only then needs to use the Sage art: True several thousand hands technique, to win. Freakin Hiruzen in his old age was able to see through that genjutsu for heaven's sake, Sasuke is leagues stronger than Hiruzen and has dojutsu, so no he won't be affected.
