This is the real reason Star Fleet is mostly human. Only very exceptional members of other species can stand working with humans. They even talk about this in Enterprise. Before T’Pol, the longest a Vulcan had managed to serve aboard a Star Fleet ship was two weeks. In Lower Decks, Captain Vendome built a crew of entirely Bolians. It’s now my headcanon that this is because they just wanted a break from those damn humans. I believe there’s also an all Vulcan ship in DS9, which was absolutely because they couldn’t stand those humans.
I’ve always had the idea that ships that were focused on on species had certain accommodations that other species would find too annoying or dangerous to live on with service. Vulcan ships are probably warmer than humans would like, Andorrans would probably die.
I always forget the name of their species, but the people who require a breather to pump in fresh non-Oxygen rich, I assume that if they had any ships, their life support would be exclusively their air, with those neck devices to help pump when visiting other plants and ships.
It would make more sense why Vulcan, an original member of the Federation, still has seemingly dozens if not hundreds of ships with their own design. I assume Andorians and Tellarite do too, but Star Trek forgets about them often.

The Barzan! This is actually something in Discovery! They go to a small Star Fleet ship that was run by an all Barzan crew (just one family), and the atmosphere is modified for them, so the Barzan member of Discovery’s crew doesn’t need her breathing apparatus. I think you’re probably absolutely right that other Star Fleet ships are made with serious accomodations for other species. Maybe the Bolian ship has especially robust plumbing lol
