Its Possible, But Another Possibility Is That He Unknowingly Manifested His Bankai Spirit, Since That's How Bankai Is Acquired, But He Didn't Know She Was His Spirit. Its Kinda Like What Ichigo Did To Fight Zangetsu For His Bankai, But Different And For A Much Longer Period Of Time. Maybe That's Why He Couldn't Get Shikai, Cuz His Spirit Was Constantly Outside Of His Sword.
