^ I don't believe he is, for several reasons.

Furuta is stated to be a Washuu as well, but not acknowledged as one. In contrast, Matsuri is part of the direct lineage and acknowledged as a member of the Washuu Clan and heir apparent to the family. So he's not merely a disposable half-breed, but a legitimate member of the family.

His age would be an issue, if he were half-human like Arima. He's only a little younger, so would be dying at this point. That......would be an incredibly foolish thing to have as the heir apparent, since he hasn't yet had children. The main family of the Washuu Clan would die out, if he were half-human.

He's likely a ghoul just like his father and grandfather, since Arima and Marude both stated that all the Washuus are ghouls.

He definitely demonstrates heightened senses, if you play attention. He appears to have been the only person in the control room that heard the gunshot, as there's another person in the panel with him that seems oblivious while Matsuri is reacting to the sound.
