Wouldn't that be dangerous considering he's an investigator? He, Touka, and everyone else could get into trouble if it slips that's he's socializing with ghouls.

Touka's kind of just leaving Sasaki to his own devices. Whether he wants to remember or not really is his reponsibility, but she'd probably support him in whatever direction he takes.

Something that's often forgotten is that Kaneki wanted to "go to sleep". In his fight against Arima, he had a moment where he knew that his consiousness was fading and he made peace with it. He had been through too much and the only thing left for him at the moment was sleep, so he accepted it. Since how Kaneki got amnesia isn't clear, there's a bit of debate over whether it was physical trauma, psychogenic amnesia, or both. While that's not clear, it's strongly implied that he wanted "sleep" at the end and he's not ready to "wake up".

The issues come from Sasaki not knowing this because well...he forgot, lol. I reckon Kaneki would want to eventually remember his friends, but it seems he was fine with "forgetting" them at first. If his line: "let's sleep for a bit" is meant to be taken literally, he doesn't plan to "sleep" forever, but before he lost his memories, it was something he decided on.
