As far as we know, Cloudstriders have sacrificed their lifespan in order to augment themselves with cybernetics that empower them greatly. They have sacrificed so much to protect their city, they have been devoted to their city, they have shown bravery through such sacrifices.
Sound familiar? Those are the requirements (according to the Speaker during Red War, which have been more or less contradicted later) to become a guardian!
So what if later after Light Fall, we see Cloudstrider Guardians? That would be crazy! Think of how powerful they would be, with their augmentations on top of having the light!
Could this also be a potential race we can create guardians from apart from Human, Awoken, and Exo?
Looking forward to your thoughts, let's discuss!

Well they should be human, so no reason they shouldn’t be in the running. Cybernetics doesn’t change your species. The criteria hasn’t been contradicted. How do you think Savathun got the Light? That said, would they accept the Light if it means losing their memories? Doubtful. As they clearly prize loyalty to themselves over humanity as a whole.
