Maybe, maybe not. Like I said, Kanou has extremely high standards for what he considers a "success", but he'll still make use of his creations to further his aims. And Kaneki caused a stir in the ghoul world because he was the first One-Eyed ghoul many of them had ever seen, but the only ones who knew he was artificial were Kanou and Aogiri. People who met him weren't shocked because he was an "Artificial" One-Eye, they were shocked because he was a One-Eye at all. But we know that he isn't the first One-Eyed ghoul in the world, just the first they'd happen to have encountered. So absolutely nothing about people's reactions suggests that he's the first Artificial One-Eyed ghoul in the world, it only suggests that he's the first to have such a high-profile. The others we've seen, artificial and otherwise, tend to be much more secretive (except for Takizawa, and that's on purpose).

If we're being logical at all, we at least have to assume that taking into account the scope of Kanou's work he most likely had many experiments before Kaneki, and a small percentage of them were viable. Furuta may belong in that small percent, in whatever capacity.
