Rukia did not deserve a bankai. I'm not saying she should never get it, but for her to have it now makes absolutely NO sense.

She just spent what...a week?...in the royal realm getting stronger, which lead to her finding out that her sword's essential nature and attack abilities are different than what she's believed so far. Like Renji, her sword was holding back on her. If she just achieved her real shikai (and in her own words doesn't have complete control of it yet) there's no way she should have also got her bankai in the same short period of time.

And also, Rukia didn't NEED it. Up till now her skills have been shown to be average - she scored well in school but got a reality check when she joined a squad and saw the real difference in skill and technique. She worked hard to get stronger. She trained with Kaien and later Byakuya to advance her skills. She was an average officer who got very good by being genuinely dedicated to honing the skills she had.

I can believe any increase in power in Ichigo because he's a weird hybrid and also a kind of genius at physical combat and strategy/tactic on the battlefield. I can believe Renji's increase in power because his sword had already allowed him a limited bankai that he trained with for years before this. Byakuya was already a captain and shown to be powerful. But I just can't believe it of Rukia. I just can't believe that she would get her bankai in the same week as she got her real shikai that she can't control entirely yet.

She should have just had a whole arc through the rest of the manga of perfecting her shikai and getting bankai at the end (if she had to have it at all, which I think she really didn't). I WANTED that to be what happened with her. For her to be a contrast to Ichigo and the others rocketing ahead in power by showing the better mastery and precision one can have going about things the slow and proper way.
