I feel as though Haise won't need to use the full stage of Kakuja.

Kakuja, in my opinion, is a power strived from the greed of power. It brings out the inner insanity of the user. All Kakuja users, for the exception of Yoshimura, have resorted to cannibalism for their own desire. Kaneki claimed it was for the protection of others, but in reality it was only for himself. Takizawa was an experiment, but eventually gave in. He realized that he was finally above others. He was finally treasure and not trash. Eto did it to achieve a greater power. She believes that she is God.

Haise, without resorting the power of Kakuja, was able to stand against Takizawa, who was at the second stage of Kakuja. There's another source of power that Kanou pointed out in Chapter 44.

Love overpowers hatred. That's the theme I see.
