Given that Kenpachi also has overwhelming spiritual power we can assume that his sword is also in a perma-Shikai mode despite not knowing the name of his sword.
The scenarios are different for both. Ichigo did have to learn the name of his sword before he could get it back. And I believe the reason it is in perma Shikai is not his rejatsu but the way he got it. While they all are given their zanpakuto after joining the Gotei13, Ichigo had to find Zangetsu within himself. In any case, using this argument not to give Kenpachi shikai or more abilities is nothing but a cheap excuse from Kubo.
