This is an important point. We have no baseline for what a Xeno ship would look like in Discovery yet, so saying that this ship does not fit in is purely an exercise in headcanon.
Instead of trying to figure out whether it corresponds to the vague and nebulous idea we all have in our minds of what a Xeno fighter should look like, we should look at it as the starting point of the ship line: How solid of a basis is this design for a possible future Xeno shipline? Looks pretty good to me.
