While it is true that customise your origin would any bonuses you want, outside of the boosts to DEX and WIS, arakocra have nothing outside of this except for flight (which a barbarian wouldn’t need because they are melee), and talons, in which other races have better. I will say it again. The point of the tortle was the base AC of 17, which is nice for a barbarian. Their unarmed strikes are a d6 instead of an arakocra’s d4, and they get some other nice utility features.
Aarakocra talons are d6 actually. They also get Gust of Wind, though I do consider that less consequential.
As mentioned though you cannot combine Tortle AC with Barbarian Unarmored Defense, you need to pick one. Tortle is useful if you plan to have low Dex and Con.
