One of the main problems I can imagine being involved with a fan tribe becoming canon is that  the rights to all existing fan tribes belong to their creator/owner and are copyright protected and LEGO/Cartoon Network cannot legally use them without the fans permission. Because even though they're Mixels LEGO can't claim ownership/creator rights because they weren't created by them. They could get in legal trouble for using them without permission should the fan get upset about it.
