You should already be able to do that! Pick the Empath Civic!
It's intentionally a bit random. I wouldn't recommend basing your entire colonization strategy on the whims of spaceborne fauna, but... noticing that a Tyanki entered a wormhole, depositing your seed pod on a planet on the other edge of the galaxy you didn't even know existed?
That's a fun stroke of luck.
As for colonization, seeds will give you interesting opportunities if another empire colonizes a planet with a seed.
You'll see.

Hmm. <thoughtful pondering>
That's correct, they can be taken, but aren't considered "negative".
There's Age of Wonders. Lots of overlap with things Stellaris players enjoy.

Because it has -1 district slot where the other blockers are -2 district slots.

Assuming nobody's already there, you'll colonize the planet and then get a free outpost for having a colony in a system that doesn't have an outpost.

These are explicitly intended to be humans. (Their prescripted empire's homeworld is even Sol III.)
The base human portrait is ridiculously popular. Far more popular than you would ever expect. In fact, a significant portion of our community uses exclusively the human portraits.
In surveys, these are the players that asked us to give them some more human looking options, including some that could use things like the plantoid or lithoid traits. These are for them.
Not every portrait is for everyone. That's totally okay. I guarantee that we'll continue making freaky weird very alien stuff too.

My recent playthrough had me cursing at a Tiyanki pod that got obsessed with a gas giant that was sitting in a dead end system, but a little while later when a different pack swam by, everything became right in the world.
We've since adjusted their behavior a little bit to give them some more encouragement to go out and "see the sights", but it's likely going to be a bit tough to rely exclusively on them to spread your colonies. On the other hand, it feels awesome when they wander off to the other side of the galaxy and find some interesting places.

Invasive Species didn't block Overtuned or Cybernetic traits when I last tried it.

The short answer is that removing the leader cap would require significantly reducing their power level. The changes that came alongside Galactic Paragons significantly increased their strength, on the assumption that you would not have as many of them. We also believe that there's benefit in having a much lower number of exceptional leaders - choices need to be made instead of just having endless numbers of effectively nameless scientists and admirals.
Governors can still be put on the Sector Capital, and do apply level based effects to any planets in the entire sector that do not have a planetary governor. They'll show up as a little hologram next to the place the planetary governor would go.

Space fauna will get a "Seed Pod" when approaching a starbase with the new "Starseed Garden" building, and will sometimes deposit the seed on a new planet while wandering around. To seed another planet, they first need to return to the starbase and get a new Seed Pod.
So, a single organism can potentially seed multiple planets, especially if you put a Garden in an area full of planets
We're experimenting with it. We want the origin to play nice to the civic, but it's a delicate balancing act.
