Izanami wouldn't be effective on Madara even if it was effective. It worked so well on Kabuto because Kabuto was having a self-identity crisis. Madara doesn't have any of that shit going on, he would recognize it and break out of it himself. While he's paralyzed, Itachi couldn't do anything to him. His Totsuka Blade wouldn't even pierce Madara's skin. Not to mention he has to prepare Izanami, Madara would kill him long before he has a chance to even prepare it.
