I don’t think there’s any reasonable outcome other than the Uchiha dying, by the point in the story where Itachi gets involved. Hiruzen has been making efforts to negotiate up until the massacre and is seemingly hitting a brick wall.
Konoha’s only options were attack first and deal with the fall out among the other clans or let the Uchiha spring their coup and suffer heavier losses, 7 years after the 3 War ended and the Kyuubi attack happened.
