Possibilities on a combined mutant version of the settings could add a Dragonmark which could be used to power Spelljamming ships, as they do with powered sea and air ships in Eberron currently. How powerful would Karrnath be since they employ undead as much as they do, and those guys don't need to eat, drink or breath... On that note, there are also Warforged which also enjoy the same advantages.. Mindflayers would be interesting though given their state in Eberron being more.... goons... and less.. important... But there is always room for changes in such a setting... Also would a version that includes Eberron also still include the other 3 Universes which the original setting does? Just some ideas, wonder if anyone else has thought of it and what they think
