I'm not saying they would have, but I'm saying they
could now.
Firstly, remember, the idea that Hollows can become fully fledged people is new information to Soul Society. SS knows very little about Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde prior to the events of the story, so why would they have tried? They may not even have been aware that Adjuchas and Vasto Lorde are fully fledged people, because they almost never encounter them - even encountering a Gillian is considered to be a rare event prior to canon.
Secondly, remember that SS has probably
never been blessed with as many genius scientists as it has currently. Urahara, Hikifune, and Mayuri aren't just scientists, they're scientists who have all created revolutionary (and noted to be revolutionary in canon - remember, Hikifune's creation of the mod soul is considered on par with the creation of
zanpakuto, it was clearly a scientific breakthrough unlike anything SS had ever seen) inventions involving Hollows, the creation of souls, and the manifestation of spirits into concrete forms.
Also, why not leave souls there until they can find a solution? You don't actually know those souls are suffering, that's something you assumed without evidence. They might be completely unaware of what's going on. What we do know is that they're not going anywhere - souls don't age, after all, they can be freed at any time.
EDIT: And another thing - SS now has its disposal more resources than it ever has. Not just those three scientists, but also it has a good relation with two Quincy, it has at least a tenuous peace with Las Noches, it has Vizards who can be studied (if they're willing), all of whom could provide different data and perspectives on the problem. SS has both an absurd concentration of genius scientists and more viewpoints, resources, and data than it has ever had before.
