If I remember correctly, they stated or at least insinuated that only the pure blooded Shinigami were able to do a Bankai and they haven't mentioned that again despite some Shinigami like Rukia who isn't blood related to the Byakuya, Renji whose family is unknown, that baldy with the staff for a shikai and a couple of other Shinigami who have Bankai and probably don't come from pure blooded families. What I am getting at is that if they acknowledge that it's possible for non purebloods to do a Bankai then they could probably maintain the power of the Gotei 13 and the captaincy. It could help you guys. :D
