I agree with some of what you're saying, ere are just a few things I want to comment on.

Ichigos powers were never gone completely. They became dormant and inaccessible. The captains powers from the sword were only used to "jumpstart" his abilities. Old man Zangetsu (OMZ) and hollow ighigo Zangetsu (HIZ) only fused as thats what they appear like in "bankai" (if you can even call it that).

If he lost the need for hollowfication it wouldnt have been during his FGT training it would have been when his Zanpakuto was being forged (we will get to that in a minute). FTG training was to allow him to become the embodiment of the attack, it had nothing to do with hollofication.

Nextly his zanpakuto was never "reforged" as it had never been forged in the first place. This has caused plenty of controversy on this wiki but I'm willing to discuss it a little more if need be.

When his zanpakuto was forged he found the truth that his soul reaper powers come from the hollow inside him as it fused with his shinigami powers. The other visored, I would wager, have two entities residing inside them, a hollow and a zanpakuto spirit. In that respect Ichigo only has the one, a hollow/zanpakuto spirit. Once he learned that his powers came from that entity there would be no reason for the mask (which would give him access to a deeper portion of those abilities) since he now has full access. Much as I would like to see his bankai have a mask, I dont imagine it will.
