Yeah I agree, a bankai that only grows more would be quite boring. It's gotta have some other type of ability to compliment that increased size. But still it'd be an interesting site in the anime with everytime Gin swings half the town gets cut up (looks alright in manga but I'm thinking with the kind of music and colour they would be using), how much more damage can the Fake Karakura take before its just.....nothing!?

But it's good to see that for now at least Ichigo is fighting someone on even terms without needing his hollow mask, something about that is refreshing to see. After learning to use his mask he'd just put it on almost instantly after going bankai, but now he only needs to require his bankai alone. Well for now at least, when Gin brings out something else he might need to bring it out.
