What was needed, though, was, again, a foil like in the Bounto arc. In the beginning of the Bounto arc, all the power Ichigo gained in SS kinda went away back in the real world, and Ichigo had to relearn how to access that power in the real world.
They could have done the same thing in Hueco Mundo. Make the entire dimensions spirit pressure oppressive to soul reapers. Then over the course of this arc Ichigo could learn to overcome that limitation, and then afterwards the arc could progress normally.
