Yeah, that's a kind of miraculous jutsu that can allow him to grasp the victory, but I also don't see any other chances for him otherwise. Yeah, it's a problem. But there's enough evidence to suggest that mind tricks won't work on Obito so long as he's intangible, as seen when Fu Yamanaka couldn't use his Shintenshin no Jutsu to switch bodies. But I'm afraid that since Obito's Kamui requires touch, then Itachi may be able to swing that to his own advantage and set up Izanami, which would be a problem. Not impossible to do, by the way - just kind of a big issue considering Itachi's battle prowess. Hence why the Gedo Mazo statue practically solves that by having the statue do the work for Obito.
