Well, I'll try to limit my ramblings as much as I can here. If Yu gets full access to his Wild Card abilities as stated in Round 2, then it should be a moderately easy win for him. The sheer versatility of the Wild Card can grant him so many wonders in this fight, including but not limited to: simultaneously weakening Jotaro's  strength, defense, and speed with Debilitate, raising the Yu's own attributes to an equal degree with Heat Riser, outright reflecting, nullifying, or even absorbing Star Platinum's attacks with certain Personas, and even fully healing Yu at any time with Diarahan or Salvation.

Round One is a more complicated case to judge, as Izanagi doesn't have nearly as much versatility as the rest of Yu's Personas. I'll fully admit that Jotaro has a large speed advantage over Yu regardless of the Personas he's allowed to use, but at the same time, I have reason to believe that this wouldn't be enough to give Jotaro the win either. Even without taking the Wild Card into account, Yu's durability should be more than enough to trump Star Platinum's insane attack power and time stopping capabilities. To wit, Yu has withstood attacks from a time stopping foe in the form of Chronos from Persona Q, who as you may know is the God of Time from Greek mythology. While the actual duration of Chronos's time stopping abilities is unknown due to the turn based nature of the game, it can be assumed that Chronos's time stops last longer and can be inflicted more often than Star Platinum's.

Even if we were to disregard Chronos altogether, we can still look further into Yu's durability with his final battle against Izanami no Okami, where nonchalantly shrugged off a devastating series of her strongest attacks before proceeding to one shot Izanami with Myriad Truths.

Lastly, I feel the need to point out that even while Izanagi is one of Yu's weakest Personas (at least as far as the original P4 games are concerned), he is still capable of pulling off this: https://youtu.be/HbaBnnJ3Pdg?t=4m52s I'm no expert on Jotaro's durability feats, but I'm pretty sure he'd have a pretty tough time trying to shrug off an attack of this magnitude.
