On the whole, the purpose of ceramorphosis is to make more illithids. When humanoids are subject to mindflayer tadpoles, the result is a new mindflayer. Minwitnesses are unique in that they result from a non-humanoid, and frankly mindflayer's don't deal with many of those type of creatures that aren't already warped or enthralled by them.
So if you're looking for OFFICAL content on ceramorphized non-humanoids, then it's frankly not out there. However, this seems like ripe fodder for homebrewing some neat creatures. They'd have to be based on creatures of proper sentiance for the mindflayer to want to make into a new being, but that still leaves a lot of interesting ideas. Think if they had somehow captured a dragon or a giant and sought to experiment such a possibility with them in order to create a giant mindflayer, or a quicker way to birth an elder brain. Maybe it'd take multiple tadpoles and result in a mindless beast, or a near omniscient hive mind of those tadpoles. Looooots of possibilities. Run it by some homebrew threads and see who wants to run with it.
I've only found the mindwitness in Volo's. :( There's the grimlock, but those are different.
