First, when did I say Kuroneki and Shironeki are different persons? I even said that Shiro still retained Kuro's basic nature towards his loved ones. The point of me saying those things is as an argument against "Haise does not reflect Kaneki's true nature". I'll admit to assuming you were thinking Shironeki specifically though since that's the only time I see any real difference between Haise and Kaneki.

In any case, I fail to see how Sasaki is against everything Kaneki stood for. Sure, he's operating under CCG dogma now, but he's been shown in the beginning to actively spare "useless" ghouls because he does not believe they warrant further harm.

Also, the only reason he attacked Nishio was because he had no idea who he was. As soon as he recognized him, he had a breakdown. He also didn't know who Tsukiyama was until the rooftop encounter. And even then, he still didn't want to fight him. He actually hesitated to kill him because a part of him recognizes Shuu (reflected in Lil Shiro saying "Don't kill him").

I would go into more detail, but I have an exam and would rather not blow any more time here, so I'll just say that while experiences shape our personalities, we are also who we are from how we're innately wired. It's both things.

So my personal view is that Sasaki is Kaneki; just incomplete without his memories. There will be no real reversion because at the core, there's nothing to revert from. When his memories come back, he will become a true balance between the previous two phases of his life.
