I was kind of hoping to see more of Ichigo and the conclusion to Urahara and his little gang. I also wished to know what Ichibei and Senjumaru really created :/ As with the robes or whatever, I dont think they are made yet, i think she just got the measurements to make them.

Doubt Ichigo will join the Gotei, he has to leave too much behind in the human world. I think Shunsui merely means to say, they have parted with Ichigo, he isn't in the human world "right" now, but that he may not come back alive, as he is in a war. thats all

Also. Shunsui's special robes + the materials seen in Senjumaru's palace = Shunsui's robes possible origins? Maybe he knows Senjumaru, a relationship? his mother? he may have went there before? who knows.
