Well, Yamamoto did have his zanpakutou stolen by Yhwach during their fight, which then gave Yhwach a ridiculously huge advantage.

In regards to who would be stronger, it seemed like for Ichibe's zanpakutou powers to take effect, his opponent would need to be covered with the ink created by his zanpakutou, but if Yamamoto used his bankai, wouldn't his Zanjitsu Gokui ability simply reduce the ink to ash, rendering the zanpakutou powerless? I guess there are too many variables to consider, seeing as they both probably had abilities that they didnt show
