I definitely don't think he's gone. For one thing, we don't even see any sort of body. No blood, no gore, nothing to indicate exactly what happened. And Saiko broke off that part of her kagune to leave behind. That's an odd thing to do.

Besides, being crushed has already proven an unreliable method to kill a ghoul. (Rize, anyone?)

It isn't just about having goals to accomplish. He's the deuteragonist of Tokyo Ghoul, and just returned with a ton of hints about big things. We don't know anything about what he's been doing all these years, what he wanted Takizawa to help him with, how he knows the :Re crew, or whether he's learned more about the CCG.

Bringing back a deuteragonist just to toss them aside would be really questionable, in terms of writing decisions. Plus, the fandom would explode.
