Eurofurence did have Joaquin Baldwin, who worked as a layout artist for Zootopia, as a GOH in 2018 which I think is alright. Even if he is not a fur himself, he was invited due to his work on a major furry film that enjoyed huge popularity in the fandom (Although his events seem to have been about animation in general...). I think that's a contrast with a musical guest who is not a fur and has not been involved in something important to the fandom.
The other consideration would be if there's a furry equivalent. There are a few furry films made by furs but nothing on the level of Zootopia. However I'd say there are plenty of furry musicians that can perform at the same level as non-furry musicians. All you need for the music is instruments and skill. Further resources are just bonuses. Picking a non-furry guest of honour also means excluding a fur. That seems like a poor choice for a furry convention to make, especially when the convention can do more to raise the profile of the fur.
