OP is correct about Irelia's kit: she gets everything and gives up nothing. The only way to win against her is to gank her early, repeatedly, And that only delays her power, it doesn't stop it, because she can farm herself back into the game. Once she picks up her core, you either need to win the game quickly or throw your carry on her.
