As for Quincy: well, this is the part that is still being debated. Remember that the Wandenreich wasn't actually IN the Soul Society, but in the "shadow" of the Soul Society: that is, Schatten. Now the question is where Quincy go once they die. Do they re-enter the cycle of reincarnation since they are human? Or are their souls "called back" by Yhwach and they end up in Schatten? Or does Yhwach use something similar to what Urahara used and convert living Quincy (i.e., Uryuu) into spiritual form before taking them to Schatten/the Soul Society?

Most likely Quincy return to the cycle once they die, there's nothing that suggests that they do not. Those given a piece of Yhwach's soul wouldn't end up in Schatten Bereich, they end up in him, empowering him (This doesn't include all Quincy just those actively carrying a piece of his soul; which he also implies to have given to the Shinigami too during the current arc so they likely end up in his big ol' biker bosom too).
