I doubt this has anything to do with Rukia's reiatsu.
Here is what I think is going on: The only way to give Ichigo back his powers is through his death. Isshin was well aware of Ichigo's dying desires (lolpun) for protecting everyone dear to him, so he talked to Urahara about it, and this one told him about this method, hence why he said doing so would change Ichigo's life forever and the gloomy faces. On the other hand, Soul Society is well aware of Ichigo's abilities, (The captain of the medical squad said that Ichigo had twice the reiatsu of a current captain before even using The final Getsuga) and because his colaboration on defeating Aizen, they decided to recruit him as an official shinigami.
Who knows, maybe Ichigo can make it to Captain considering his previous strength and the fact that Soul Society is lacking captains. And also now he can actually end up with Rukia if they both are death.
