Well I wouldn't say that the Shikai has been admonished since the chapter ends with her activating Vollstandig. We haven't seen how she will fight after it's activated and if the Shikai will still affect her or not. Even Aizen whose intelligence is through the roof still got cut by Sakanade so I don't think it's being dismissed that easily.
