@Andy Just because a Youkai is based on a certain idea - as they're usually molded around a certain youkai/legend in Japanese lore - in most cases that doesn't mean they're outright abstract/spirit/concepts just because of that. Most characters in Touhou can very well be killed if their enemies have enough power to do that. There's absolutely no evidence whatsoever suggesting that killing them physically would ammount to nothing. Even Remilia that is a vampire can be properly killed if her opponent gets around her immortality or, if you want to pull the Big Guns, the ones that ARE actually that hard to put down would be Yuyuko, Kaguya or Mokou. Dude, the way you're implying things here would make it seem that every character in Touhou has the Hourai Elixir.
