I doubt building another android like Penny is by any means easy. No, there likely won't be more than a few or her, and judging from the flow of the story now she's likely to be the only one. Due to the peaceful times, humanity won't judge it necessary to waste funds and resources on a military superweapon that may not even have a chance to fully utilize her skills in her life time.

And yes, she will be viewed as a threat to humanity. As of now I believe that the official reason Penny is born was to combat and clear out the Grimm populated areas, and subtly she may be deployed against the Faunus should another war happens. Unfortunately, this is looking very likely with Cinder deliberately inciting both sides of parties to fight each other (working with the White Fang and encouraging them to attack humans). She is buying for time, and she is weakening her enemies along with it. Two birds with one stone.

I can't help but foresee a chapter where Penny loses control of herself and goes on a rampage. It's bound to happen, it's only the details that are somewhat vague.
