As somebody that has mained both jax and irelia like a lot in ranked, and being a solo top only player, i'd like to say that irelia doesn't have a weak early at all infact irelia has an amazing early, for example you can trade evenly with Riven even if every Q hits you just take W first and you can out trade the vast majority of champions at level 1 including jax.

Irelia literally destroys jax in lane and i mean he cannot farm at all and even at level 6 she can still manage him no problem, lategame if you manage to bait out his ultimate first and build randuins (aswell as botrk and tirnity) it's you best shot at dueling him, i really don't know about this though jax might be able to 1v1 her lategame just bare in mind that unless he has tenacity your stun will give you around 4 attacks which with trinity and botrk is usually half healthish.

Jax loses to most champions early simply because his mana pool doesn't allow him to trade and his huge weakness is lacking inbuilt sustain for that reason even nasus can farm safely until he baks a few times. So i'll go ahead and say choose nasus against him if not irelia because nasus CAN destroy jax 1v1 lategame no problem.
