Funny fact: Amorous was playing with the idea in the beginning to have Miles being a beast dude. But since many people freak  out    if they can't play as a human (as if 24/7 RL gameplay as a human isn't enough already) he didn't want to take that risk and went with a human Miles.

Back to topic:   Quite a few people don't like the idea of   having infertile CBs.   One theory I have is that both species (humans and beasts) are already barely a match when it comes to  mating so the problem gets worse with each cycle and the human <-> CB or beast <-> CB is already too much to work anymore. Plus it's stated that both humans and beasts see CBs as inferior   species so they are barely willing to fix the whole problem when it comes to storytelling.

Maybe it might change in the future but then Amorous has to rewrite quite a few things and that will cost time and he doesn't have that much already.

It wouldn't be necessary to draw it at all, it would be possible to just mention that there is such a possibility and leave this generation in the world as "lore" or simply "knowledge" and that's it.

Theoretically, this would add the possibility of even creating that kind of character with such a legacy (e.g. if the creator wanted to make a sequel someday or even in future quests).

Additionally, another argument is that CB is generally already closer to either a human or a beast, so if a human and a beast can have offspring, then CB and human/beast even more. And don't cite here the example of an animal such as a mule, it was a deliberately created hybrid and even in their cases there are fertile individuals.

P.S. It's better to introduce any changes and support them now when the game is still in early version 0.28 than when it develops or is nearing completion. If it Really REALLY doesn't suit the author "plot-wise" then you can simply say that it's difficult and that the few offspring are either human or beast and that's it.
