While I agree that Trek is all about finding common ground, I just hope they don’t humanize the Gorn too much. While I’m no Trekologist I don’t think the Gorn become “friendly” until much later in the time line (like late TNG era). Someone nerdier than me please correct me if I’m wrong.

They more or less vanish after SNW. They have their introductory appearance in The Original Series, a few gags/cameos in Lower Decks, and the skeleton in Discovery, but that’s about it.
