I like what little lore we have of them, and maybe if they were more humanoid it could work. But as it stands - both in a lore angle and a gameplay angle - it just wouldn't work.
Problem with that logic is the Au Ra. They look somewhat beastman-ish yet nobody brings it up in ARR, and it's really only brought up from HW on. It can be done like that, where it's never really mentioned until SB areas. Plus the Halloween event questline seems to hint at Eorzea being able to be okay with the Lupin.
