...it was hinted at but I don't recall outright statement thus leaving room for doubt. Didn't see directors cut of original so no "insight" from that.

  ...my take is that if he was human, any human could do it.
  
  But if he was a replicant, they would be able to make others like him to breed.

    "...my take is that if he was human, any human could do it."
    
    Not necessarily. What if his genome contained a mutation that allowed replicant fertility? Not "any human could do it".
    
    Ultimately, this aspect of the movie is quite intentionally a Rorschach ink blot: you can read anything into it you want. And as we saw at the end of 2049, it sets up interest in another sequel.
