Some of these make sense, they work, but some of them seem kind of redundant or proven wrong by the manga. For those of you that don't read the manga, this may contain some spoilers, I don't know how far the anime has gotten.
Fishmen: I don't see why they are incapable of obtaining Devil fruit powers, the manga has proven they can, in the case of Vander Decken, but in doing so they lose their ability to survive underwater along with the regular DF stuff. Now, I know the description says they are stronger than humans, but we go by the attributes, and unless a Fishman starts with level 2 strength, they are as strong as any normal human. It seems like a fair trade off if you ask me.
Cyborgs: Another group proven to be capable of using devil fruit despite what they are. Look at Kuma, he was made a cyborg but still possessed the Nikyu Nikyu fruit's power because they kept that part of him, even after turning him into pretty much a full on robot. Maybe limit them to Paramecia and judge whether they can use the fruit in a case by case scenario, depending on the fruit and what modifications they have. [ex: a person full full body cyborg modifications wouldn't be able to use the Gomu Gomu no Mi, but would be able to use the Horo Horo no Mi.] I know this may sound like it would be a lot more work for staff, but when a Cyborg PMs staff about fruit identification or to learn what happens when they eat the fruit they could describe their body modifications and then the staff member can make a judgement on if they would be able to use it will little extra effort.
Talking Animals: Now talking animals are closest to me so I may be biased, since I already have one and am thinking of making another character that could fall under the generalization. First, why are they only capable of obtaining powers from a Zoan fruit? Is it because Chopper and Pierre is the only animals they've shown to have eaten a Devil Fruit, which happened to be a Zoan fruit? I'm pretty sure Enel was the only Skypiean with a Devil Fruit, should that mean they can only use Logia type fruits? These are animals with human intelligence and speech capabilities, I don't see why they should be limited to only Zoan Devil Fruit when they should have the capability to use any. As for having to choose between Haki and a Devil Fruit, I don't really have a strong opinion here, seems a bit silly, but meh.
Again, I don't know everything about One Piece so forgive me if I'm wrong. I know I said this before but it seemed kind of ignored in favor of a 'Mark All Boards Read' button and I would like some kind feedback.
