The biggest point is the fanart. You can easily see how divided and inconsistent the art is, as it just expresses an obvious sign, the biggest issue with the Avali: It's way too narrow and patchy, a self contradictory mess. Nobody but him dug this pit. Blaming others for the direction of his lore is a pretty big sign as to what the problem is. Anyways, wait and see. My post above will be edited with a lot more context and some actual feedback this time.
Now now- the reason for most fanart being of dubious quality is because most artists[tm] either don't look up the proper information, or use inofficial references (Along with quite a few of them being rather inexperienced in art) They just choose to make them look like cats, or have ears missing or multiply.
And besides, deciding on the exact cellstructure and metabolism won't make people learn how to draw 'vali faces properly.
(There will always be copious amounts of deviant art tier shit art for gross furry things like these)
"Nobody but him dug this pit."
There is literally no pit, since it's far beyond the scope of his intended use.
He has never said it's one hundred percent adopted into official lore - more of an "if that works, sure" kinda thing.
It's not like it's a constantly developing concept, and there are other things to think about than how they process food -which probably has an entirely different form of nutrient structure- or the exact design of their internal organs and attachment points for their muscle tissue.
