Izanami stops working when you're willing to self-examine... and what of his ability to be in multiple places at once? Or, for that matter, to see the future and thus know it is an illusion and how to beat it?
It does no good to trap one Dr. Manhattan only for another instance of himself to win, or to be freed quickly.

Something Manhattan was unable to do without Laurie's help 👆

He will see through the future and see himself helpless in that illusion, his ability is to see the future and do nothing about it. If he's helpless to deal with Izanami he'll see himself be helpless in the future.

Manhattan is an idiot at fighting, by that token he can be tricked into Genjutsu.
He's bad at fighting, but he is also at 'wave hand and Itachi is gone' level, and nor can he really be stopped.

But he is going to know how it works.

How would you need to know how to fight when literally you cannot be hurt, stopped or bothered with. Man raises his hand to fight a good fight, a god raises his hand and the fight ends quicker then it started.

How? Manhattan is used to be omniscient, he'll see an illusion and be convinced it's perfectly real because he's used to see through everything. For Kabuto perceiving a loop is innatural because his time perceptions tell him things are not going as they should, Manhattan has no way of distinguishing the loop.
Near Godlike omniscience that can only be clouded by tachyon emissions? So how is Itachi supposed to stop Dr. Manhattan's precognition ability, again?
There is literally nothing Itachi can try to attempt that will get around Manhattan's precognition abilities.
But to assume Dr. Manhattan's anatomy is susceptible to things like gentjutsu requires quite a bit of suspension of disbelief.
But how can you break out of a time loop if your time perception won't allow you to recognize it. Manhattan could be looped into it, by using his incredible perfection as a form of blindness: Manhattan becomes much easier to trick because he thinks he knows everything. He can be rather underperforming under an illusion because he's used to his boosted perceptions, the comics back up this claim.
