Itachis stamina with susanoo was pretty impressive to me even thiugh i agree his stamina is shit, but that was after he stopped taking his medication, split his reserves in half with a shadow clone, used tsyukyomi,  two amaterasu, along with a bunch of other genjustu and fire ball jutsu all in a fight where he was holding back against sasuke. How will itachi vs hashirama be a battle of stamina when itachi can one shot him with the totuska blade, whereas hashirama cant touch him through the yata mirror? Firstly, we don't even know if that clone was real, cause after a minute or so we see Sasuke with his eye ripped out by Itachi, which actually didn't happen in reality, clone appearance could be already an action within Tsukuyomi. Plus if there really was a clone there, it was a crow clone rather than a shadow, and they are consume less chakra. And yeah, Kakashi's stamina has often betrayed him (for example, during the battle against Kakuzu, where he was barely able to keep up with the opponent despite having a support of the entire team). Totsuka blade isn't something unavoidable as well, that's why stamina is really important here. I agree that with his health restored Itachi's stamina/chakra reserves are much more better than before, but not to the extent to match two shinobi who have the reserves comparable to those of the Tailed Beasts. I severely doubt Itachi would be able to hold his Susanoo with Yata Mirror for, let's say, 12 hours while being bombarded with the most powerfull techniques from Madara's/Hashi's arsenal. Moreover, his Susanoo isn't complete (without the lower half), so he's vunerable to the attacks from the ground (or he could be pulled out from Susanoo akin to Madara being pulled out by Gaara's sand), and even Susanoo can't protect him from something like poisonous pollen created by Hashi's flowering trees.
