Zangetsu explicitly stated that by Ichigo using the final GT he would lose his Shinigami powers. this would imply that his hollow powers still remain. It was his shinigami powers that helped him keep his hollow in check. there for with the loss of those powers he will not be able to control or defeat his inner hollow if he chooses to take over. Personally I think that hollow ichigo would be a great new villain in bleach. It would add a new layer of conflict between his allies. For example: Kenpachi would try to kill him to see who was stronger, Byakuya would try to kill him out of duty while Rukia and Renji would try to save his spirit out of friendship. But lets not forget about the white elephant in the room. (orihime) if she comes back and restores his powers (like she has done before) i swear i will kick a baby.
