No. The covenant has been practically disbanded after Halo 3. The novels pretty well detail many years of the covenant during the war. If they throw in any more races then they're practically being pulled out of Microsoft's/Bungie's butt.
They could maybe throw in a bunch more Lekgolo variants kinda what they did with the scarab in Halo 3. Maybe throw in more classes and ranks, vehicles and weapons, but theres really no more room in the lore for more races unless they want to throw in some more non combat races.
Unless they do a game on the covenant prior to the human vs covenant war theres really no more room.
You're right. Obviously. But this was just for fun. And personally my idea would still fit in because the Brutes have only just risen to being frontline combatants. (See vicious animal the Brutes/Jackals brought from their homeworld idea)
