Well the reason for mice not being able to receive genes is because they are a different type of creature. A critter.
There are performance reasons and strange code reasons for why mice or space-wasps cannot receive gene modifications.
As far as I am aware that current state of mice being unable to receive gene-treatment is a development cycle that has started ages ago...I sincerely doubt that the reason was balance.
If anything Changelings fit the thematic of gene modifications out of all antags the best. Arguing to remove the capability of them receiving bad and good genes alike seems unjustified.
I had occasions when I was a Changeling; ate somebody and was able to receive SMES by transforming into the body of the person I ate...but I was also blind,...
There are trade-offs.
There are also ways to remove genetic modifications from individuals so...I really see NO reason to see a change in how things are regarding that system.
