Yeah, I'm pretty sure many Time Lords were homebodies and didn't have their own TARDISes. Certainly we see Romana travel with the Doctor inside his TARDIS. That option would require some further tweaking of canon beyond the obvious having of daemons.
And, since I always read "daemon" as "soul," in my head, and I firmly believe Time-Lords have 'em, the human/non-human thing doesn't bother me.
My thoughts exactly. Daemons aren't a biological adaptation that have been evolved by humans in Lyra's world but not on our Earth or Time Lords on Gallifrey. They're caused by different metaphysics in Lyra's universe that cause the soul to take daemon-form, and I think Doctor Who falls apart if you try to say the Doctor doesn't have a soul.
