The primarchs were genetically engineered and space marines are supposedly derived at least in part from their DNA. I don't think the imperium counts emperor-ordained modification as a mutation.

Or it's just overlooked because of their usefulness, like they do with the mechanicus and their worship of the omnissiah.

Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture trilogy ticks a lot of the same boxes as the Expanse. A blue collar crew of misfits from different factions gets caught in the center of a galaxy-spanning fight for survival.
