If blindness from MS usage bothered Itachi in his Edo form, he would've been revived already blind, the same way Nagato was revived crippled. The eye blood doesn't necessary show the strain, it just shows that the reanimations can bleed - Sasuke also bleed with his EMS > Rinnegan, yet we are sure he was relatively free to spam his MS techniques. And although I admit that reanimation's chakra just instantly refills, it still allows Edo-Itachi to be more reckless in his MS usage than during his livetime. Also, there's no evidence the sickness affected Itachi's chakra reserves, it was only his stamina.

Even healthy Itachi isn't going to win here. EMS Sasuke's ninjutsu skills are equal, if not superior to those of Itachi, genjutsu, the main specialty of Itachi, becomes useless against an advanced Sharingan user, especially with him possessing the MS, and 2 out of 3 most powerful Itachi's techniques (Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu) also won't affect Sasuke with the EMS in the slightest. Itachi with the regular MS is still limited in it's usage, while Sasuke isn't in no way due to the EMS. The only problems of Sasuke would be the two relics of Itachi's Susanoo, Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror, but Itachi wouldn't be able to hold his Susanoo for very long, especially in the armoured form, so Sasuke can simply outlast him in every way.
