I know it's inherently flawed to inject real-world rationale into fantasy pretendy times, but I've always had great difficulty in letting what I consider to be "logic" slide in the face of storytelling. Someone being voidtouched is certainly a thing that can happen; We see the slow transformation of some stuff in Tamtara Hard Mode and the THM storyline deals with gradual corruption of someone. As Sounsyy stated, seeing something clearly unnatural would lead to pretty easy accusations lobbed at things that aren't normal.
Yugiri chose to hide her identity because she didn't want to make a huge deal about her arrival, remember. It lends that a little girl who sprouted demon/bat wings would draw a little bit of suspicion, especially in Ul'dah. The Ossuary is pretty much the Center for Demon Control in Eorzea as far as we've seen, and it isn't that far off to think there's some kind of "See something, say something" protocol in effect for the city. At the very least, it follows the logic of the world to consider it.
The problem/challenge/issue with Voidsent RP isn't that it happens; We've seen it in-game and it's certainly a known thing. The issue, I think, is when people flaunt that shit openly and in public settings. There's no means for anyone in game to stop someone playing an out-and-out succubus in a tavern, for example, despite the logic of the world dictating immediate response from adventurers/a militia/the Grand Companies. If you were going to have a child with obviously-otherworldly-features walking around as if it weren't no thang, that would be a bit much for a lot to swallow.
Again, if you wanted to run the story there's plenty of means to. Run it as is, run it without the void, do whatever you'd like with the concept, but the biggest hurdle anyone playing with a template has to jump over with the community is whether or not it's done for a purpose beyond "I wanted to RP a voidsent."
