I think I would have enjoyed it, if Connor was an android pretending to be human. Like he started in the DPD as a normal detective, maybe from "out of town" or another precinct and he tries to blend in with the humans. Becoming a deviant would have been so much “easier” or riskier for him as he is constantly trying to prove he’s a human. Maybe (depending on the route the player would take) Connor would be convinced he's human as well.
Also the whole traitor narrative between Connor and Jericho would have been waaaayyy better, if Connor was pretending to be human the whole time, maybe even denying his true self.
And the only reason I’m applying this concept to Connor is because it works the best for Connor. Markus and Kara’s stories wouldn’t fit.
