I'd have an easier time believing that if it wasn't for Soken Ishida's existence. Clearly, before Ryuuken and Misaki ever existed, this guy was not hiding from shinigami. He was out in the open constantly trying to negotiate with them instead. And while he never had any success, its clear that the shinigami were never trying to hunt and kill him and his family. Its also never implied that his negotiation attempts ended in violence. So after the war, it seems that the Ishida clan at least was left alone in peace. Maybe a secret task force may have been in charge of exterminating Quincy clans deemed as potentially dangerous threats. But not all the clans could have been targets.
