You mean "every MMO out there"? :P
There is no problem lorewise, according to the lore homins already used to have tamed ragus.
The problem is game-mechanics. In all those other MMOs, pets are part of a class, and the benefits of the pets are balanced by those classes having other weaknesses. In classless Ryzom, pets would be a pure benefit, no downsides. Everybody would be forced to have a pet.
We'd need some mechanic that controlling a pet makes you unable to perform any other combat role....
In any case, the OP's suggestions are far, far too ambitious. Let's start small eh?
