Has I see it, Ichigo shouldn't need to use hollowfication. After all his shinigami and hollow powers are one. They're fused together. So there shouldn't be a need for hollowfication.

Ever since his training with the Fullbringers Ichigo hollow powers have been manifesting themselves together with his shinigami powers. All we had to do was look at his bankai. The white X things he had on his forharms and hands, even the more proeminent white under his coat was also a sign that Ichigo shinigami and hollow powers were one and the same. Of course we only got total confirmation after he had to go through Oetsu, Asauchi training.

Now we see that big white X on his chest. That also serves to hold his two zanpakutou's.

Ever since Ichigo power was fully released we should've already seen him use Hollow techniques. And even some Quincy techniques as well.

I get it that ever since they arrived at the new reformed soul palace, that the shinigami's can't no longer use their ability to walk on air, but Ichigo is more much more than a shinigami, he's also a Quincy and has such he should be able to also control and manipulate Reishi at this point and at least be able to use the Quincy's more basic techniques. Like Hirenkyaku.

Has for his hollowfication. I believe that it's connected to his Shikai and Bankai. And as he uses one or the other, his hollow form becomes more visible and complete. And this begs the question. Is Ichigo already at Shikai? He might not be. Also seeing that he's a combination of shinigami, hollow and quincy, maybe we can't define his transformations by Shikai and Bankai any longer. Because if we were to follow that logic, then after Ichigo uses his Bankai he can still use Resurrección. And after he uses Resurrección, he can still use a form of maybe Letzt Stil or Vollständig.
