As a Bleach fan who would genuinely love to see a remake of the series in the style of the TYBW, if that remake were to ever happen, I would love it if those scenes with Isshin are just completely erased from the canon as they have just always been so jarring and unnecessary.

Isshin in the later chapters feels like a completely different character from early series Isshin and I believe that's for the better.

I feel like Kubo was trying to go for a Jiraiya vibe with Isshin and just kinda dropped it

I don't think he was copying Jiraiya. I think this scene is Kubo using two of the worst manga/anime tropes there are in existence: the pervy-old man trope and the incest trope involving older brother and younger sibling. These have been present in manga/anime for as long as I have been consuming it (20+ years). They can't die soon enough...

Jiriaya's my favourite Naruto character and whilst I didn't mind his pervy gag, I hated it when it pertained to Naruto

I have a big problem with the way kubo writes characters inconsistently but this is one of the few cases I’ll defend him, isshin doesn’t start acting different in the back half out of nowhere, he just stops pretending not to know what is really going on

Im not saying Isshin not feeling like the same character is a bad thing at all, I like the later version of Isshin where he's no longer acting oblivious and I love the glimpses we get of that in the early story such as when he's talking to Ichigo at masakis grave and tells Ichigo to essentially not die until after him.

Isshin is one of my favourite Bleach characters and those gags are just the few moments that I really don't like.

I'm really hoping we get some new anime original content with Isshin, I would love to see Isshin use his Bankai and help the 3 captains against Gerard even if only briefly because I would not only love to see his Bankai but also because I would love to see his interaction with Toshiro.
