I really don't see that close range necessity as a weakness. the jutsu can't be done without eye contact. It's more of a necessery step to even start the technique rather than be a important weakness of the technique.you see it's like saying the weakness of chidori and rasengan is that it's target has to be hit for the technique to work. but it still can be called a kind of weakness.

How exactly does Obito know if Itachi fooled at every step? I mean how can he even know about tsukuyomi which happened inside their minds? He fooled you at every step can be clearly taken that Sasuke never knew the truth about the whole Uchiha massacare's real reason and that he never noticed it. Even though, I don't remember Obito saying that he fooled him at every step even then Tobi also said he was Madara and that he lived long after the vote battle of Hashi and madara. Which really isn't the case. Itachi never actually comfirmed the details of the battle. Itachi as the user of the said technique comfirmed sasuke to be able to break through it.

That's why he used a different kind of realisitic genjutsu, so does not realize he is in it and to make sasuke spend the time of tsukuyomi without breaking through it.

Your second counter about tsukuyomi only takinga second to perform and all is true but it happens in the mind and so some people have already made a theory about how Sasuke used the time manipulation of tsukuyomi to his advantage and broke out of it. you can actually read it at the top posts of this thread. by @Bakumatsuwarrior and others.

Sasuke doing something like that isn't surprising since he reverse the affects of a possesion genjutsu/ninjutsu of Orochimaru(which he himself had very high experience with it. counting all the victims inside the dimension of the said technique) which he actually to be unbeatable.

Honestly, I don't see why Itachi fans are even trying to make it a watered down version. since it doesn't change the fact that Itachi's still awesome and that he had complete knowledge about his jutsus limits and weaknesses like the genius he showed.

Itachi's my second favorite character. Cause he's cool,strong and smart but that doesn't make him unbeatable.
