In my brief experience a lot of people treated them like well... a child, despite the fact that many lalafell characters would presumably be just as capable/intelligent/etc. as many others. I understand some of this is probably a result of their design, their emotes, etc. But I worry that I won't be taken (as) seriously trying to RP a lalafell, at least in comparison to Miqo'te, Elezen, and Hyur (I never saw any IC Roegadyns, so not sure if this would extend to them in any way).
I think it depends on the character. My lala does get coddled by some people still and for the most part it irritates her, but there are plenty of others who do treat her just like they might any other person.
