The Varangian Guard was a Byzantine corp, doesn’t just mean “norse man-at-arms”. And it was an elite corp too, the imperial guard. So it’s actually too general already being a MAA replacement, albeit more expensive. That’s a definite no in giving them to the Rus.
About moving them to the Feudal Age? I don’t see a reason for it.

They should remain a Byzantine unique unit, not all civs need to get everything. We go that way we will end up with boring civs that are just the same.

Nope the Varangian Guard are the mercenary royal guard of the Roman Emperor.
Also after 1066 the Varangian Guard had a lot of Saxons in it.
