Hank certainly has a few problems going forward. The book may be enough to convince Hank that Walt is Heisenberg, but it doesn't seem like it would be enough evidence on its own to hold up as a case. Second, it could easily make Hank look bad if the case against Walt were to go forward. Not only the financial issue where Hank's medical bills (and possibly other financial needs) were paid for with drug money, but it could be made to look like Hank was helping Walt out. Hank coming across and killing Tuco, the person who killed Gus seeking him out just before he did it, Mike vanishing when no one outside of the police and DEA should have known about his potential arrest plus Mike's guys all being killed just after Hank turned down a deal from one of them. It could look like Hank was taking out Walt's competition and protecting him from anyone who could testify against him. If Walt finds out Hank is onto him before Hank tells anyone else at the DEA Walt could threaten to take Hank down with him. Maybe there's not enough for charges to be brought against Hank, but it could shorten his career with the DEA. Hank also has to be ok with what it would do to the rest of the family.
Hank will really need to act carefully, really looking forward to see how he proceeds as I'm not convinced he'll turn Walt in immediately. It seems like Walt has more problems than just law enforcement in the second half of the season. The machine gun doesn't seem like something Walt would get as a long term plan to fend off the DEA.
