No he didn't because a Fatigued Old Hiruzen who doesn't specialize in Yin Release managed to operate rather well while being trapped in the Genjutsu. Actually, the genjutsu itself couldn't inflict pain or paralysis which is a notable quality of proficient Yin Release users. The only one who doesn't possess that quality with his Genjutsu is Gengetsu, but his genjutsu negged hundreds of sensor types.
Basically, Hashirama's Yin Release was shown to be shit. Sharingan Genjutsu is implied to be effective against Kurenai who is a skilled Yin Release fighter. Tsukyomi is on a far different level and without a Sharingan, you cannot resist it. You'd have to break through it instantaneously which is not possible without the Sharingan or Rikudou's Yin Release.
