Hmmm -- No, I don't think so.
Casy, we know what Goo-infected beasts look like, and they don't look like the bosses (*). The Goo lends a purplish cast to their skin and gives the infected beasts great strength, but their overall well-being is compromised, and materials looted from them are not suitable for crafting (and in some cases have to be handled with special care lest the infection spread).
The Bosses on the other hand are the epitome of good health and the materials we can harvest from them are the best materials there are, indicative of the highest that the type of beast can achieve. This is true even of the Kitin. The Goo is not actually compatible with Atysian life, despite the claims of the Marauders.

(*) I don't know if you were around in the (IRL) year prior to the Second Swarming, but there were major incursions of Goo-infected mobs. The Fellows of the NTCS studied them in detail.
