From testing, it seems that Rampaging Enemies are considering Plasma gunners as elites, at least that’s how it feels like, so I’d say that one is not an issue

The breed tags are irrelevant when it comes to whether an enemy can spawn with whatever a mutator does to them on spawn. There are lists that are manually curated and they haven’t been updated in a while. See the chance tables in this guide. The only mutator that currently also includes Plasma Gunners to spawn with its effect is Contaminated Stimms which is one of most recent ones.
