I'll admit, I may have been thrown by the use of "clan" in your post, and for that, I apologize. 
I think we're saying the same things! 
As for the nunh position -- and breeding among Seekers generally -- I'm entirely in agreement that in the typical hunting ground, it's a matter of duty. Sure, the nunh may be Brad Pitt crossed with an MMA superstar socially, but ultimately, it's about preserving the tribe and bringing the strongest children into the world. Some of the NPC dialogue out in Forgotten Springs, I think, underscores this.
With that in mind, though, the nunh does have a lot of "soft" power and duty can be a significant social pressure, so I think there's a lot of opportunity for different stories in the tribal setting. The interplay of duty to the tribe versus one's personal feelings, as well as the behavioral styles of different nunh, is something I think is interesting to explore. A hedonistic nunh who's unstoppable in battle is certainly a possibility (and turns the "squick dial" way up), even if it's probably not the norm.
