In the manga and anime during the fight with Starrk of the Espada, Ukitake told Kyouraku not to use his bankai. The exact wording was as follow :

Manga Chapter 362 - Ukitake: Your bankai isn't something that should be used with so many people around.
Anime Episode 278 - Ukitake: Your bankai shouldn't be used in a place like this where people might see it.

If I can remember correctly, the fight was in seireitei? Thus the quincy that was hiding in the shadows of seireitei whould also have seen the bankai.

Could this mean that Ukitake and Kyouraku was somehow aware of something like the quincy watching them, or do you think that their bankai's are just so outrageously strong that they are not supposed to use them unless it is really important?

Another thing that is of interest to me is the following two pages from the Manga Chapter 479 : 16 and 17

These two captains are some of the oldest captains in Soul Society, so they know alot about the history. I think they know more than what has been said so far in the manga.

Maybye it's something that only works if you see the bankai. That would explain why they dont use them where others can see.

Or maybye they really want to be part of squad 11, so they are deliberately holding back their powers like most of its members.
