Yes but it has to be done perfectly with no loop holes etc. There are good and interesting ways to do timeskips that's why for HxH it just has to be done smoothly to not disappoint but it's a very likely way to continue the story if Togashi doesn't wanna end it yet. IMO, characters like Leorio and Kurapika can take the limelight for 1 to 2 arcs to provide a timeskip for both Gon and Killua. Just like what is going on now, they are given time to develop behind the story. So Togashi can do the otherway. Let me give an example how this can be done: A major cliffhanger wherein Gon will face an enemy where he'll be trapped in the limbo via a nen ability. Killua tries to figure out how and who might help but it would take 2-3 years for him to retrieve Gon. Meanwhile, the focus will shift to Leorio's life or Kurapikas (but I prefer Leorio). Leorio has a lot of potential in taking the central focus. After Leorio's turn, the story will shift back to Killua and so they've grown, both him and Gon but still, he's only found 2-3 clues all those years on how to bring Gon back. When he's finally able to bring Gon back, both the two of them are already very different, then the story can go on again..on and on.
