Not so fast
Indoctrination appears to be only possible in close vicinity of a Reaper. This means that Sovereign or any other Reaper would have to have been "in person" or close enough to use his influence to dominate someone's mind. Benezia was on board. Sovereign came to the Geth and subdued the Heretics.
Like Shepard, Jack Harper is exposed to Reaper technology and survives without being transformed into a husk.
That might be why the Reapers have chosen humanity in the first place - a pair of humans encountered their
technology and one maintained his sentience and was upgraded by it without being transformed. Saren looked into it with other turian scientists and eventually was pissed that the turians immediately succumbed to it but humans were capable of withstanding it and being empowered by it, God forbid.
That created the jealousy that led to him seeking Shu Qian's reserach, finding Sovereign, and starting ME's events.
What that could mean is that humanity is the most dangerous opponent the Reapers have ever faced because their technology improves the best of them without destroying their minds. They have dealt with weaker minds
before - the Rachni were corrupted, sicced on the Citadel races and wiped out. The Collectors gave the Salarians the sterility tech for the Krogan. Once Shanxi happened, the information about the newcomers was shocking and terrifying to the Reapers and that caused Sovereign to freak out and try to signal the Reaper fleet to return, even though it was too risky.
This also explains how TIM runs such a damn good operation - he has been exposed to what might have been an organics observation device and acquired collected information about every known race all at once, kinda like the Matrix with Neo learning kung fu, etc.
