...I'm pretty sure both of them already went very far.

Haven't you felt Toumas best moments are when he loses his arm and scares the big baddies?

We've already seen him in his ruthless side when he was subduing the terrorists; lets say we add more scenes like that, it doesn't really change his core character.
Now lets say he kills someone, how does that change his character for the better? I certainly don't want to see Touma turning into just a catalyst for the other characters' development.

You don't get my point; if you want to change his character- make sure you're doing it for the better. We already know that if Touma gets knocked down on he will get back up so there's nothing new or surprising there. A threat to his personal life might be something new, but it doesn't change what he must do, or rather what he always do.
Lets say you make him angsty for a longer period of time, how is that not a deterioration?
Lets say Touma does have this fall, and when he gets back up- what part of his character would change for the better?

Perhaps he does feel guilty, but he doesn't let it bog him down.
