“A Q would never allow it!”
Maybe… what if the Borg had found the suicidal one from Voyager and he let them because he found the idea fascinating?

Another option: Assimilating a Q assuming human form is the exact same thing as assimilating any other human. They get no more knowledge of their powers, and maybe only some understanding of the universe as a whole because they only get what’s able to actually work inside that meat brain, and not the whole sum of the being of the Q who was assimilated. The nanites only function with the physical aspects, but none of the metaphysical, in this case.
Put into that frame, it’s like Marty McFly using Gray’s Almanac to place bets. A temporary boon with limited implications compared to the span of the Q continuum.
I bet the queen would be piiiiised.
“All the power of the universe but all we get is another random dude for a drone?! This bites.”
This seems logical, but when the continuum revokes or disables Q’s powers in TNG he still appears to be a super-intelligence. I would think even that degree of power could potentially augment and improve the capabilities of the Borg by orders of magnitude.
