But isn't that actual canon, that humans are the only species that actually brought together all those species.
Sure, but my headcanon is more about the underlying reasoning of why they did that. In canon it was out of some sort of high-minded ideals and a unique human ability to build communities and see past differences and such blather. In my headcanon it's actually more because the Vulcans told them they didn't think it would work.
Your version seems more plausible actually.
Vulcan: do not touch the hot griddle. It will burn you.
Human: You can't tell me what to do! Burns hand
Vulcan: I will apply medication to the burn.
Human: I'm not burned! This is what human flesh looks like! Holds up mangled extremity
Vulcan: ...
Human: ...
Vulcan: ...
Human: burns other hand
And yet somehow, we make it work.
