That's why I mentioned the M66, Eisheth's children number. Eisheth might've had them all, which is why they all look like her. So if we believe Syla and M43's are nearly identical in appearance, that could only mean she mated with plenty of monsters to have them all. Something that she implies the 4th made her do. As we know the 4th wanted Ella to do the same when she was deemed a failure. Breed and spread her genes.We have that from Eisheth (mother of the Estries as she says) and also from Aglaec, she had plenty of sons killed at the battle of the diamonds, so we have precedents if Syla did have monster children like other chosen, in that case she could be the progenitor of the M43.
I would find it a little strange however, considering how much Syla is attached to Mc could she really have birthed a whole species of monsters and not care about them ? For now i will believe that Syla and M43 look the same because of their connection to the 4th, maybe Memory is the one who created the M43 in the first place.
The infection route wouldn't make quite enough sense without more in game showings. As the infection process doesn't make one to one like birthing can do. Minyaks for example only birth other M22s but their infection can create a different outcome. With Eisheth, it's likely the same with M66. Only Aglaecwif seems to be the current outlier, as she births mostly males. Though, I'm still with my own theory that her child with MC is a girl this time.
So looking back at Syla and the fact that M43 is the base form for all M43s that exist, according to Nico. The only way Syla is the Creator of them is through breeding as infection would be unlikely to make the same being over and over again. As every other beings turned by Syla would have varying degrees of different monster compatibilities that would result in different monsters. Where as, M43s are like M22s as far as we currently know.
So ultimately, that's why I don't believe Syla and M43 are the same in appearance or close in generation. They're undoubtedly connected and I have never said otherwise. But I don't think Syla is a M43 and fucked to have them all. Unless the parent of the M43 species was made by Syla's through infection or birth and then they had an army of M43s. That's one of the ways, via infection, I could see them closely resembling Syla while not having her actually be the one out there breeding like there's no tomorrow.
