I'd expect a similar issue to be the case for FFXIV's development team. There's some stuff they can probably make work, but they'd likely have an easier time just making the occasional new hairstyle exclusive for Viera and Hrothgar.

I don't think the situation means losing out on the missing genders being added, though. Or rather, it shouldn't in an ideal world.

I already have a love/hate relationship with headgear already. Some it looks really cool but then if I'm wearing it, nobody can see my character's face!
It isn't something that needs to be resolved. There was never any intention for either race to have more hair or to be able to wear hats. The company was up front about this from the beginning. It is very minor in the grand scheme of things. It will never be a priority.
