Personally I enjoyed the read, its a pretty interesting subject to post on. Really the Hogyoku is seemingly a wish granter in the Bleach series. If it can give Tosen's zanpakuto a ressureccion, I think it is safe to assume that it can give any shinigami the same ability. As you stated it was created with the purpose of blurring the lines between species. It granting an Arrancar a Zanpakuto spirit (Shikai, and Bankai can only be obtained with one), that they could imprint on seems like the simplest route to me. It also seems the most plausible as their natural "zanpakuto" could be the vessel for the spirit. One a side note if a Arrancar can gain a spirit weapon....(http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Asguiaro_Ebern) why not a zanpakuto spirit lol? (obviously different things are a foot in both situations, sarcasm here).
