This makes Section 31 sound like Oceans 11. Which would be fine if this were the first mention of Section 31 and what they are about. This is nothing like the Section 31 from DS9, maybe there is some kind of explanation for that, we'll see.

I dunno, from what we've seen on DS9 and Enterprise, Section 31 is willing to recruit operatives to fulfil their goals - we saw that in Malcom Reed and Bashir as Starfleet personnel, but also Koval, who was a Romulan agent.
A S31 agent like Alok Sahar, who operates outside the Federation and has the authority to recruit people to achieve the ogranization's goals, makes a kind of sense to me. A Deltan and a Chameloid both make sense from a spycraft perspective.
If anything, this iteration of S31 could show a progression from the out-in-the-open, "special forces" iteration of the group that we saw in Discovery, to the complete disavowal of DS9.
