"Fusion, however, could only occur between the same types of Gems, such as two or more Rubies. Cross-Gem fusions, such as a Ruby and a Sapphire, were considered disgraceful and always resulted in a punishment. This was to prevent two Gems of a lower caste from fusing into a higher-ranking Gem."

This is not confirmed at all. The problem Homeworld with cross fusion is that it cannot be fitted in the traditional standards. Everyone as a place in this machinery, everyone is designed for a specific functionality. Those who drift away from their intended purpose have no place in society, they are useless to the state of perfection. Cross fusions enter into that category.
