That may very well be the case, however, what would be the point of using a Gigai in battle? As I mentioned earlier, Shinigami don't have Human bodies to worry about, so they could pretty much exit said Gigai in any given situation before engaging an enemy. In fact, taking damage in battle would be a good way to ruin a fine Gigai.

The reason Kisuke developed the "Stealth Gigai" was so that he, and the other exiled Shinigami, could hide in the Human world. When their Reiatsu spikes in battle, that cover is blown, which is why Hachi set up multiple forcefields when Ichigo trained with the Visored; everyone knew Ichigo by then, so sensing his Reiatsu spike wouldn't draw much outside attention (no offense intended, Ichigo). Also, whenever Kisuke, or the Visored, have engaged enemies, not one enemy have remarked that they couldn't sense the other's presence.
