Theres a good chance most of us wouldn't be considered worthwhile drones, to be honest.
"A remarkable creature. Your design nearly passes as human."
"...I am human?"
"Ew! well, then you need to drink more water."
Is that an actual line from the doctor?
It's from Lower Decks. A simulation of the Borg Queen says this to Boimler while he's taking a test on a mini-holodeck.
Figures
I would be broken down into nutrients instantly.
Thank you for your sacrifice
I believe in you, too!
Been there.
I'd be OK with being turned into nutrients
Something something circle of life
At least I'd be useful for once ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Still, at least I'd be useful for something

- physical disability: that might just get you euthanized.
- limited resources: again, I see euthanasia as a possible Borg solution.
- loneliness: ever heard of being lonely in a crowd?
- mental health: again, a malfunctioning drone would likely just get euthanized.
Some of these points assume the Borg we saw outside of Voyager, because Voyager really neutered the Borg in so many ways.

I didn't know we had a queen. I thought we were an autonomous collective
Loneliness? Literally impossible
This is my sticking point. There's nothing better than the feeling of being alone in the house, at least for a little while.
Now if it came with a fully customizable virtual world where I could be alone if I wanted to, then I'd be down.
Isn't that just Unimatrix Zero?
Well if I’m going to have to worry about the borg queen trying to crush Unimatrix Zero, forgettaboudit.
Alternatively: You have no distinctiveness that will augment our own, so we're going to liquefy you and feed you the hive.

was that borg policy? every borg individual had some beneficial distinctiveness? I guess I'll get liquefied then
The Borg are interested in both numbers and diversity. It was a later retcon from Voyager that they reject some hosts
If I was accepted as a drone, it’d be fine by me. I’m so tired of worrying about everyday existence in the devolving hellscape of a world we now occupy.
But, if you have a physical disability, they don’t bother assimilating you I thought?
