I am inclined to take a taxi - any indication of how easy/expensive it might be?

Welcome to Flyertalk , Did you happen to check schedules on the Itami Airport website?
I believe that it is about 13000 JPY by taxi..(YMMV) !
Bus takes 50-55 minutes and costs 1,280 JPY

You can also use the Monorail and Railway 2 ways:
By monorail and Hankyu Railways
Take the Osaka Monorail from the airport (Osaka Airport Station) for just one station to Hotarugaike Station (2 minutes, 200 Yen) and transfer to the Hankyu Takarazuka Line for Juso Station. At Juso Station, transfer to the Hankyu Kyoto Line for central Kyoto (55 minutes, 450 Yen from Hotarugaike Station).
By monorail and Japan Railways (JR)
Take the Osaka Monorail from the airport (Osaka Airport Station) for just one station to Hotarugaike Station (2 minutes, 200 Yen) and transfer to the Hankyu Takarazuka Line Railways for Umeda Station (15-20 minutes, 220 Yen). From Umeda/Osaka Station, take the JR Kyoto Line to Kyoto (30 minutes, 540 Yen).
Cheers.....
