The trouble i have with with is that Kakashi needs to get close to Tsunade to apply a killing blow, and that's where Tsunade is strongest. He needs strategy and planning to win, and yet all Tsunade needs is a single punch.

With Susanoo things get easier because it can take at least one blow from Tsunade and it adds some much-needed range, including the very powerful Yasaka Magatama.

I don't believe that Kakashi is too reliant on his Sharingan. It reinforced his fighting style, it didn't force a new one on him. Without Sharingan, he would still have fought 90% the same. Chidori needing the Sharingan is IMHO just a lame excuse. At the time it sounded good, but people like the Raikages, Naruto, Minato do far crazier stuff without having Sharingan.

Hokage Kakashi is still Sharingan Kakashi. He loses the Sharingan but also the time limit on his fight and the limitation on his chakra. He can now use more techniques more often. The problem is that Tsunade's fighting style is the One-Hit-KO, which is a very simplistic way of fighting and has an easy to achieve goal. Kakashi is mostly a short-range assassin, using his other techniques to get close. And in close quarters, Tsunade only needs one hit to end the fight, whereas Kakashi needs to form and apply Chidori. Same range (short range), easier tactics, easier finishing move. Tsunade thus wins.
