Interesting theory, but it does have a few flaws, Yachiru is shown with her own Zanpakuto, so a Zanpauto having a Zanpakuto of their own is redundant. Also there has been no proof that a Zanpakuto can manifest itself without being forced out by the Shinigami in question. Yachiru also has a Reiasu that's unique to her, if she WAS Kenpachi's Zanpakuto spirit her Reiasu would be nearly identical to his. Finally Yhwach never masqueraded as Ichigo's Zanpakuto, Old Man Zangetsu if the Quincy portion of Ichigo's spiritual power while the Hollow Ichigo Zangetsu was the Hollow/Shinigami part. They are two halves of the same spiritual whole and *as of right now* are both his Zanpakuto spirits*even though the Old Man is the manifestation of his Quincy powers, which is why he looks like Yhwach from a thousand years ago*
