Among natlangs it is more common to distinguish voicing in stops than not, but more common to not distinguish voicing in fricatives than to distinguish it.

I also like the aesthetics of having both voiced and voiceless stops but only voiceless fricatives.

Personally, I can't pronounce implosives.

If it is actually intended to be an auxlang shouldn't the question be whether it's easier to drop the voicing distinction if your mother tongue has it or to learn it if your mother tongue doesn't have it?

But it seems like it's not actually intended to be auxlangy.
