In universe you do see other species fighting for the CIS in the clone wars, but just in their homeworlds: Genosians and Umbarans are the two who come to mind. However, from a logistical standpoint why use the combined droid armies of the different members of the CIS (the Trade Federation, the Intergalactic Banking Clan, the Techno Union) who are designed for almost any environment, already trained, quick to manufacture, and require very little for support. An army of citizens would require training, weapons, armor, food, and lodging.
Also, you're missing the entire point of the separatist army: It's there to distract the Jedi, create an army for the republic, and make it easy for Sidious to take over. In the final scenes of the war Sidious orders Vader to have the droids shut down after executing the CIS leaders who were assembled on Mustafar. A non-droid army would have made the Republic -> Empire transition much harder and Tyranus or Sidious didn't want to deal with quelling those planets (who would have had an army) PLUS the rebellion planets.
