 * Black Zetsu saw Sasuke's Susanoo blocking the light of IT and stated that the Rinnegan allows him to repell the genjutsu. No more, no less. It means that Rinnegan itself is immune to IT, Susanoo just can exteng the range of immunity to cover the other people. What Sasuke did was only enhance the Susanoo with his Rinnegan ability, a principle similar to Sasuke using Chidori through Susanoo which doesn't cancel out Sasuke's capability to easily use Chidori without it, but he was in need to extend its usual power through another jutsu.
 * Secondly, Sasuke warned Naruto not to leave his Susanoo since he'd be already affected by IT outside of it. Sasuke knew Naruto possessed the SPC and several advanced abilities like Tailed Beasts' powers and TSBs, yet he still said Naruto would be got in IT anyway. It means that only visual prowess of the same calibre (i.e. the Rinnegan) can counter IT, and any other Six Paths powers wouldn't be enough.
 * Black Zetsu mentioned that the Susanno was blocking the light from IT due to Sasuke's Rinnegan enhancing it. The Susanno was still the one blocking IT, not the Rinnegan. The Rinnegan allowed Sasuke's Susanno to tank attacks it normally wouldn't. Does that mean that same ability still applies to Sasuke himself?
 * How would Sasuke already know what Naruto was fully capable of if he didn't know what he himself was fully capable of? Sasuke didn't even seem to know that Naruto had the chakra of the 9 Bijuus until the latter used Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken. Naruto wouldn't be caught by IT if he set up defenses, like TSBs or chakra construct. If IT can only be countered by what makes it up, then TSBs should suffice
