Would it be possible for an Uplift in a "human" morph be accepted among Ultimates?
Would it be "Heresy and no exceptions!"?

The Ultimates want converts.
The Ultimates want converts. They'd probably just fork over a Remade morph and start the crazy space samurai training process.

It depends.
I think that one thing that also needs to be remembered is that the Ultimates have a variety of ideological movements within their larger group, so you might not have a perfect consensus.
Most Ultimates have no qualms with uplifts, essentially. Anyone willing to seek betterment is welcome, though some people insist on a particular path of betterment and others are more flexible regarding what is considered improvement and whether or not uplifts have a place in that (keep in mind that uplifts are not universally accepted; the rates of acceptance among Ultimates are likely similar or a little higher given that the Ultimates are more closely linked to transhumanism).
One of the things to remember is that the Ultimates' favorite slur—genetrash—applies to anyone not actively upgrading their morphs and embracing transhumanism. Some Ultimates may even condone or actively promote certain uplift morphs, though uplift and AGI egos may not be as quickly embraced.
There are, of course, the fringe Ultimates who insist on overhumanism, but even they are likely more toward a "join us ideologically and become a Remade" versus "burn the stack".

My thoughts on this, and I've
My thoughts on this, and I've ran an AGI as an Ultimate, is that they wont ever say no. As long as I am working hard, as long as I am trying to always improve myself to work on my decencies, then I am embracing Transhumanism, I am trying to become my Ultimate self. I always figure that there is a significant ceiling to where I can ascertain within the Ultimates. I figure the highest honor I could earn was being let on their HQ. I wasnt going to be an Elder.

I've just read on Rimward
I've just read on Rimward that AGIs are not welcome in Aspis, in fact they are expelled from the habitat...

Expulsion from a habitat does
Expulsion from a habitat does not necessarily mean exclusion from a faction. Some of the reason why an AGI might be expelled includes fear of TITAN infiltration, and it might not be simple paranoia.

Also, while Aspis is "owned"
Also, while Aspis is "owned" by the ultimates, there's many cylinder segments which are public access or they don't exert control over - it might be the local refus and others who are left over from the transition of power who move to enforce the anti AGI sentiment - and the Ultimates wouldn't care. "Oh, you got caught by some scrubs and thrown off, how is that our problem?"
