There's no reason to believe or disbelieve that Komamura's Bankai isn't just his materialization coming to stomp on people's heads. It's kinda bland but it's possible.

I don't think that we'll see many other materializations, I mean, it'd just add more charachters...like this is how I got stronger...I talked with my zanpakutou. Ichigo is self-explanitory, and we only saw Renji's to show that materializing your sword is a sign of reaching a new level of power for everyone, not just Ichigo. That said, i'd like to see something explaining how Ikkaku achieved bankai. And if anyone else decides to whip one out i'd like to know a little more about how and why.
