Wow, I'm late to this thread.
Every dev post I've been able to find regarding miqo'te is summarized and linked in this post.
To the best of my knowledge, other than the U tribe, there's never been a statement from SE either way on whether Seekers are patriarchal. It seems to me that's what they were trying to get at, but then there's enough waffling in the lore that I don't think the power dynamics of the "average" Seeker society can be simplified that way. Nunhs obviously hold some soft power (after all, they control who gets to bed whom in a socially acceptable manner), but they don't hold a lot of direct power. Within those guidelines, I feel a player has a lot of leeway on the "dark and squicky dial" for their character's particular band/subtribe/etc. in the territory from which they hail.
TBH, the reason male adventurer NPCs you see are Tia is because Nunh have a societal duty to stay in the hunting ground, breed, and probably assist in securing it (since that's how they got it in the first place; dev post). Tia, not having such a responsibility, are more free to go out and adventure.
