Andy here!

Kaneki's actual Eyepatch mask is symbolised with Buddha, it's the one in the omake, much like how you mentioned that Mado went to hell and Hinami's parents were in Heaven. It was also shown again after the chapters that Sasaki goes back to Uta, in that omake, Uta then again brings out the Buddha mask, saying it does fit him. There's also the fact that when Lord Buddha was meditating to achieven Enlightenment, a demon appeared in the form of a snake in order to tempt him. Sasaki at the moment is symbolised with the snake, meaning he might be giving into his temptation to use the kagune and be like a ghoul, however, he might actually have to overcome that temptation, meaning at the moment, he's constantly shifting back and forth between Shironeki and Kuroneki, as seen with the symbolism in his hair, it isn't fully balanced yet. I don't know what balance it could actually be alluding to, but if I were to take this right, the first colored cover of :re almost depicted Sasaki with grey hair, and also the fact that the Quinx's kakugan's sclera are also grey coloured instead of black (yin), which might mean that Sasaki is with them for a reason, to learn and understand from them how to balance and be a proper half-breed without the drawbacks he's facing now.

Again, all of this might be looking into it too much, but I agree with the rest of what you said. Especially with Amon, who's name means "god of all gods", like Amun Ra, the Egyptian God who is also assosciated with wind. If we were to disect this further, this confirms that Amon himself has transitions to go through, as Amun in ancient Egypt had to fuse with Sun God Ra in order to maintain the name Amun Ra. This is more assosciations with the bird, or even the phoenix, which is again, a parrallel symbolism as opposed to what he was symbolised as (the Dragon) in the first part. Which means, it might even be reasonable to confirm that Sasaki being symbolised with the snake might not be a total accident after all now, even if Ishida gave a reasoning that a centipede would look too gruesome.
