Number 2 would fall over.
Right now a giraffe needs 600lbs of neck muscle to hold up a 50 lb head on a 6 foot neck.
There is no way the giraffe’s neck could hold a regular human torso. Forget a proportional one. It’s not possible.
Picture for scale. A regular human torso would look comically small on top of a giraffe.

You don’t even have to get into the weight.
Mammals have at most 4 limbs. Centaurs would have 6 limbs, and the mammal brain never evolved to handle that many.

Came here for this. #2 would bend over once and be down for life.
Not to mention those front knees would be under tremendous pressure, even just normal walking would be punishing.
