No, it wasn't. He didn't need to become an insect for better development of the story. The eyes could have been given to him by the hollow mask and still keep the "blind" part in. I wish Aizen hadn't killed him, and he would had been put in the maggots nest and later in the novel escape during Yhwach's invasion and look for his friends killer by himself or have Hisagi help him or something. :/
