Yeah, Ishida can be difficult to predict. However, it seems like he generally doesn't kill off characters especially when there's a lot of untapped story potential.

Kureo Mado dying served to further a ton of narratives (Amon, Touka, Hinami, Akira) as well as cause CCG to start focusing more on the 20th Ward.

Yamori dying served to give Juuzou his Quinque, as well as furthering Kaneki's narrative and gave significance for Naki.

The Bin Brothers were minor to begin with, and their deaths was a set-up for the Quinque Amon uses against Kaneki in their final battle.

It seems to me, with so many loose threads, that Takizawa dying this early on would be premature. Then, we lose the potential for confrontation with Houji and having another viewpoint for the experiences of a half-Ghoul. It seems like, in terms of the story, Takizawa surviving this arc has more ground for storytelling.
