A non-trivial number of VR users experience phantom sense of varying strength, including myself. Proprioception is not the only thing being consulted here, seeing someone touch what visually seems like your face is a common low-level manifestation of this. It's possible to be in an avatar and have someone touch the avatar's tail and somehow weirdly you can feel like "your tail" is being touched (albeit you feel it in your tail bone).

Maybe the technology to better integrate more brain variants will eventually exist, but current VR tech already has a niche to cater to and develop from.

You have elegantly spotlighted the problem. Call me when they all experience it, always and every excursion into the virtual. Then we'll know VR developers have finally started paying attention to proprioception.
