I don't know about Toshiro's ageing thing though... might be some sort of seal on his age finally breaking? A sudden puberty growth spurt? Plot Convenience?

Maybe this new power just had to go somewhere. In my head this is Kubo amping things up, to show that the quincies aren't the only ones able to pull up the most amazing trump cards out of their a$$e$.

The problem being that usually a shinigami then pays some ultimate price. Look at Komamura. He went from werewolf, to almost immortal man-wolf, to a simple wolf. The human metamorphesis technique I bet had a price he didn't saw coming. And most likely Hitsugaya will have some price to pay as well.
