It can't stop CT. Gravity acts through anything. Can't stop Kakashi's Kamui. Probably can't stop Reaper Death Seal. I don't think it can stop Hagaromo's DNA sword either since it probably has reality altering powers.

Well, I just named 5 techs that can bypass it.

It's a extremely OP defense that is slightly lower than the level of Obito's Kamui, FTG or Izanagi. But that said, it probably cost a lot of charka to use. If it's like any OP weapon in manga, it would requires a heavy cost.

I must admit that's pretty convincing, i'm on the verge of being a Yata Mirror believer, however, there is a ripple in the upper right hand corner of the bottom left panel. and the above picture shows the yata mirror's flames sticking up, this is no proof of 360* defense, we can't see the back of the mirror. I'll give it to you though because it's covering the complete front half of Itachi and his Susanno and the sides, the top and back i'm still not convinced.

You missed the point, no yata didnt cover itachi's susanoo 360 degrees in that instance, however the fact that yata was able to expand & increase its size proves that it has the ability to alter its shape into whatever it needs. The bombs hit the front of susanoo, so yata expanded to block the entire front & part of the sides/top. Had sasuke attacked from behind then yata would have expanded to cover the behind.

no yata cannot block any attack...! it's useless against genjutsus, kamui, barriers, sealing techs, jinton etc...! although it can block most of physical attacks like kirin, rasenshuriken and may be even biju bomb but it's the nature of attack that's problematic as you can see i believe it can block biju bomb but not jinton as jinton doesn't collide with you it just turn everything to dust and it's a 360 degree attack and yata cannot cover 360 degree...! so i believe it can only block head on attacks and as for sage's weapon, we have already seen one broke against a mere sword of susano so it's probably same for yata which is not even hyped near that sword of obito...!
well that's my opinion...!

You say it would have expanded to protect everywhere else, and yet there is no evidence of it, the truth is neither of us know. I'm in agreement that it shielded Itachi like a glorified faceplate from Sasuke's Paper bombs. Just because you say it would protect the rest means nothing. Of course I can't prove that it doesn't, you certainly can't prove that it does. I believe everything has a Limit, the limit to the yata mirror is something nobody knows it's merely our view on it, to think that it would stretch to any size to protect against any blast is unthinkable, even if it is a spiritual weapon, everything has a limit, but of course we haven't seen it in action enough.

The point is that the databook has stated that Yata can change all of its characteristics to defend against the incoming attack... ALL of its features... size, shape, it doesn't matter... it has shown, that based on the incoming attack, it will grow to a portioned size to defend adequately.... At this point you're just being ridiculous with that argument

Reflected hydra. That's good enough to say it can at least block a shit load of force.

To defend adequately, indeed it has, and we haven't seen it go through more than paperbombs. You say ridiculous, I say not enough evidence.

Does Kishi need to hold your hand with feats?

We've never seen chidori pierce Iruka Sensei, so by your logic we can't know if it can or not for sure.

With actual logic, we are allowed to infer that chidori would work on Iruka Sensei, since all feats suggest it would.

With the logic that the yata mirror expands to deflect any attack, the sun could explode and Yata mirror would be able to stretch to any size to defend the earth. I say again, everything must have a limit.

Though i do agree that a Chidori would pierce through Iruka.

No, Yata would only grow to defend the one wielding it.

You're using fallacies in your argument.
