Itachi with low chakra reserves would lose against Minato, though it wouldn't be an easy win for him. However, if I'm not mistaken, the only reason why Itachi's chakra reserves were depleted was because of his illness. So if we're to assume that Itachi is not dying for the sake of this battle, then Minato would lose this fight. Like, even if nothing works out, Itachi could use Izanami and kill Minato while he's stunned.
