It would be highly unlikely for it to produce variegated suckers, but it's still a nice plant, and although you don't live in an easy banana growing climate, the plant can still make great fruit if you get it to fruit one day, somehow.
It's definitely possible and it happens often but you'll get more variegated pups from a variegated a'ea'e.
