Aint no way Susanoo tanking a TBB. Susanoo with the Yata Mirror barely protected Itachi from Kirin. What makes you think it will protect him from a Tailed Beast Ball? If Kurama uses Continuous Tailed Beast Balls, it will be overkill. Not to mention Menma can spam the Spiraling Ring and Great Spiraling Ring.

Kurama can fight from long Range while Menma fights from mid range. Itachi doesn't have the reserves to keep advancing Susanoo to the next stage over and over from recover from damage.
