I fully acknowledge this post as purely speculative but am curious if others think this could be possible and what differences/evolutions to the arrancar shinigami would happen if it did

Actually it wouldn't make any sense for a shinigami to become a Arrancar. A shinigami goal to use hollowfication is to be able to surpass the limits that bind all shinigamis. The best example of full perfect hollowfication was Tousen.

When Tousen hollowfy he had access to all the abilities of a shinigami and a hollow, he was even able to use resurreccion.

The Vizards were failures in Aizen's view mainly because of their limitations. They were only able to sustain their masks for a limit amount of time and apparently can't use their hollow powers together with their bankais, nor are they able to use resurreccion.

As for a Arrancar. Maybe the best question would be to ask if Aizen was able to create a perfect Arrancar at all. Just think about it. When Tousen put on his mask, not only he apparently had no time limit, but his suit also slightly changed. Also it was hinted that the less mask a Arrancar possesses it's more effective powerwise to the Hollow. And all Espadas possessed remnants of their masks. Maybe the perfect Arrancar is the one that loses the mask completely.
