So personally I don't think about it because I'm going to "miss" content regardless of whether or not I play as a Tav, dark urge, or one of the origin characters.
Yes, but the point of contention is that it looks like you will miss *more* if you play Tav vs any other Origin/Dark Urge. In regards to your Gith example, you could roll a Female Githyanki Fighter, and the biggest difference you'd notice between your Gith Tav's playthrough and playing as Lae'zel would be a marked lesser degree of story and content.
If you play gith with lae'zel you get a lot of new dialoge though.

I just made a gith barb who ripped Shadows pod door off and when I talk to her on the beach she joked that she was more loyal than my own kin
There is some unique dialogue that addresses the fact that there is more than one gith in the party, but generally speaking when I rolled a with a Gith, I noticed that npcs who reacted with some variation of 'oh look, there's a Gith' were reacting to Lae'zel first, and the player character second. Notably The whole Shadowheart/Lae'zel rivalry didn't really adequately address that you too are a Gith. Basically, aside from a handful lines, your interactions with Shadowheart remain unchanged.
