If this armor is not all that his kakuja does, but it also strenghtens Kaneki's offensive capabilities, the we have a pretty good chance that Arime is going 6 feet under. Arima has never shown signs of being dealt serious injuries. While Kaneki has gotten stronger, it would be the biggest asspull ever to suddenly be able to beat the man who could've murdered you in two seconds, and also just received a quinque three times stronger. The most fatal attack Arima suffered is a scratch on the cheek. Other CCG investigators have gone through fatal injuries but still manage to pull through, while Arima has never once struggled with a fight. Why would someone who was previously portrayed as unstoppable and almighty, by Kaneki, who's only power up was wanting to live. His kakuja was already established before Arima proved that he could shit on Kaneki in two seconds. It's highly likely that Arima will simply spare him, as it's being foreshadowed as Arima does not consider Kaneki a ghoul.
