This is a really cool idea that I think could do well with work, I've already thought briefly on 'sentient disease' antags after looking at some other stations' wikis. I thought they were cool but wouldn't fit goon.
Having a mini azone of the inside of your hosts body is an incredible idea and I think that can be worked with, even if retooled for something else.
So the main issues I see are lack of real interaction with crew, your host being afk or silent/new and hosts self-antagging, even out of confusion. Personally, I think it'd work real well on RP specifically. People who see me talk already know I keep bringing up wanting an RP exclusive antag. I can think of a lot of ways this antag wouldn't work on classic at all, but with RP rules it sounds incredible.
Give them lots of ways to interact with their host in fun ways, to speak with them but also to interact with other people. Mindhacking them is a good idea, from Rmeaper. Let them ditch their host in favour of a different one if needed and dempathsise that being an actual end goal. They'd need ways to talk to others, and to become some sort of physical interactable being outside of your end shambling goal.
