@Gmanis hashirama has no shot of breaking tsyukyomi as he doesn't have the sharingan and uchiha blood. If itachi casts tsyukyomi with time dilation like he did in part one then madara has little chance of dealing with the effects Yea ethereal is tricky as it has several definitions, but one of them is lacking physical form according to merriam webster dictionary. It's possible the sword is etheral in its base form but can switch it on and off like naruto in kcm mode. I feel this is the case as that would explain why orochimaru felt the stab. And if it's true totuska blade can pierce susanoo.

Thanks for acknowleding all abilities without being biased. I myself dont think itachi could beat them ten out of ten times and he doesn't have stamina on his side. But the problem is he has 3 OhKO jutsus, and 2 of them, tsyukyomi and amaterasu, happen near instanly if hashi messes up.
