I can't imagine he'd kill him, especially with Gomi involved. Hank is smarter than that.

I think Hank's obsession with Heinsenberg and the realization that it was Walt has affected his thinking but I don't know if all evidence is inadmissible. New Mexico is a one party consent state and since Jesse knew the phone call was being recorded is that enough? And if it is and the phone call is admissible, Walt confessed to murders so there's that. Sure it's not a black and white case, far from it, and could even cost Hank his job for going off the book but I think it was a moral victory. Even if nothing stuck, Heisenberg was unmasked. Might not spend a day in prison but he has to answer to Walter Jr.
The couple dozen million dollars worth of barrels they would have recovered would have been icing on the cake as there's no way Walt would have seen that money again.
