"He even acknowledged under the Susanoo that if Naruto or himself got caught, "it's all over".

This bit of your argument unconsciously agrees with what I said.

And your not understanding. I'm not arguing in favour of Tsukuyomi being the ultimate one up vs pain. I'm arguing that it would work (as you're not made to believe) but would only be a diversion tactic in this fight. Like amaterasu. I already admitted that itachi can't defeat pain. Plus. Would itachi even know that Tsukuyomi is kinda useless vs the rinne? Wouldn't he see nagato or the pains as just another opponent he could Tsukuyomi the shit out of? What does itachi even know about the rinne? He's never shown awareness about the abilities and prowess of the rinne. He'd use it (Tsukuyomi) but would then realize it's not valuable in this fight. It's only a diversion tactic in this fight as i'll repeat. And those few seconds can buy itachi alot of time like when he genjutsu'd Kakashi in part 1 and ended up right behind him with a kunai to his back in an instant. And what Kakashi thought was itachi was in actuality a clone upon the later revelation.
