Have we decided that a union is not possible without a true incarnate?

As I said above, the idea is unattested. My feeling is that it's not possible. Here's my thinking on it: Spirits can't reproduce; reproduction is a function of the Incarnate. They have to be embodied to reproduce. But if two Maiar took corporeal forms and mated, wouldn't their offspring be pure Maia? There would be no lesser spirit to dilute the outcome. However, Maiar can't be
born incarnate, because they're
ëalar and
ëalar are naturally discarnate. Get it? I just don't think it works.
