[Star Trek] Have the Borg ever assimilated anything that disagreed with them besides Hugh?

For example what would happen if the Borg assimilated a strong spiritual individual who embodied a Fool, not in the sense of actually being an idiot but rather just lacking ambition or malice in favor of essentially farting around like Buddha, someone who embraces irrationality and really just laughs about most situations.

Would the Borg be able to filter them out once they were consumed? Or is the collective going to find itself essentially bird-watching intermittently interrupting its logical self?

Yes.

Hugh was different in that he was already a part of the collective.  The Borg eliminate such individuality during assimilation, but a member of the collective *learning* individuality is a separate thing.  When Hugh reconnected to the collective hive mind the concept of individuality spread throughout the whole collective instantly.  It was a more potent "virus" than any data could have ever conceived to infect them with.  Hugh's experience with the enterprise crew nearly destroyed the Borg.
