The only thing is that it would probably be tough or actually impossible to swap for the races like Au Ra and Roegadyn who have a strong sexual dimorphism going, and therefore very different skeletons that might not work with the preexisting animations. It's probably not physically possible for Au Ra males to sit like their females (see Miqo'te ladies getting a similar sit pose a while back that did weird things to their leg models).

If they do anything, though, I hope they include mount riding poses as well; I main WHM, so a lot of my glamour ends up being long robes or coats, which look frankly ridiculous when riding astride. I ought to be able to switch to sidesaddle like Elezen and Hyur ladies to minimize the clipping (and danger of snagging something and falling off!).
While you have a point about the potential issue regarding how the emotes' animations would work on races like Au Ra and Roegadyn, I am reminded of another japanese MMO game called Phantasy Star Online 2, where they have set the ability for all characters to play emotes for both genders, regardless of the player character's gender.

And also in that game, you can make characters that are really different from one another, height factor included, and yet emotes will still work fine.

Anyway, I guess my point is that I think that despite the massive difference between genders for some races, it might not be that far-fetched that making a character being able to play emotes of both genders could be possible, and that the emotes still work fine.
