Totally disagree with OP. One of the main traits of the race is how incredible jarring it is. Lalafell looks cute and small, childlike even, yet you only need to pay a little bit of attention to see lots of examples of lalafell commiting crimes, consuming alcoholic drinks, making sexual advancements to other characters, spilling innuendos left and right, and many, many more. Is truly both an amusing and surprising contrast.
I actually love how SE went out of the way to hammer the point that they are adult individuals, more akin to classic dwarfs, by being familiars, crafty and ,in the case of Ul'dah's citizens, very greedy
Them having deep voices is not only possible as said before, but by virtue of being a fantasy game SE is able to take some liberties anyway. But what make them more appropiate is that the deep voices perfectly represent one of the most amusing characterist of the race. If we were to take it away it would just make them a bit more generic cutesy fairy like race.
