As promised and with the previously mentioned disclaimers, here's a list of KDF ships that might be popular votes for T6 treatment. If something big is missing, don't blame me I begged somebody else, anybody else, to do this.
Running tally of write-ins:
Vo'Quv : 11
Hegh'ta: 3
K'Vort: 4
Fleet Admiral CuChulainn -
U.S.S. Aegis KT Intel Dreadnought Cruiser

Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
I don't see a Sovereign having a Temporal seat. I can see Command and as a stretch Pilot.

If the sovereign doesn't get a hybrid temporal seat, then the Ambassador/Kamarag will, and they'll be next.

The Ambassador is plausible though. Although I think the T6 might technically be the Guardian. If you compare the Guardian to the concept art for the Ambassador, you see similarities.

As the KDF doesn't have the resources to churn out new designs, it makes perfect sense to me that they would continue using tried and true designs.

The one problem is apparently the current Kar'fi keeps ending up with texture problems. Last one I saw was missing most of its hull.

It'd make a nice sci/pilot ship.

Seriously though some T6 KDF Sci would be nice. Kamarag is at least Sci-flavored, albeit still a cruiser for all intents and purposes.

if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
So a T6 Vo'Quv with a Klingon, Gorn and Orion themed skin and science seating would go a long way of helping KDF out. My second vote (I'm not adding to the poll, because ) would go to the Varanus for a T6 science ship and possible Nebula bundle.
The canon ships are mostly at T6 already aside from the D7/K'Tinga which faces some sort of "connie" scenario and the Vor'Cha which is probably going to be bundled with a Sovereign.

Dangit, see I knew I'd miss something. Sorry.
The priority should definitely be to the canon ships.
For the Gorn Science Vessel, my "Make it relatively cheap" idea would be to make two new materials for them and give ups the option of any of the existing 3 Gorn Science Vessel costumes. Materials take some time to make and apply, but probably a lot less than making a completely new 3D model, possibly with exchangeable parts.
That's a stretch, though. Vo'Quv missing is definitely an oversight as well as the abscence of raiders and raptors (although B'Rel already got a T6, don't know about the raptors), but "Klingon side" in STO is the red federation of Klingons, Gorn and Orions (as well as a few other minors, at least Nausicaans got a ship of sorts). It's not about "actual Klingon" designs here and the red side can't really afford to split hairs at this point.

That said - the Scourge would need to be improved. If you compare the T5 Scourge and Guremba, the Guremba is better in almost every aspect (except maybe the turnrate).
Vor'cha is also very iconic, so I am sure it'll be there soon.
And the TOS klingon cruisers may Feature in this update as well - would make sense, as it's back to TOS
