Yes, it is totally canon, because the events of Simba's Pride all were left intact and furthermore some things finally got explained, like for example how scar got his scar and became powerhungry, why zira and her lionesses were banished in the first place, why Kion was never mentioned in Simba's Pride (because he was on a journey to the Tree of Life) and also because he was made after the scene where Kiara asks her father for permissioj to go and play and Nala sneaks into the cave with a certain look at Simba and also where the rest of all the new lionesses came from, (they all originated from the Night Pride), also the question if Kovu and Kiara were married at the end of Simba's Pride has been answered to by clarifying how a marriage ceremony looks like with Kion and Rani.

All of this are good reasons to be thankful to the producers that they cared enough to make events work out in the lion universe and also include some wishes of the fans questions like good example how scar got his scar and how he met this strange lion.

So yeah I am thankful and happy that the Lion Guard existed and we fans got to enjoy to watch Kion and his friends very own journey in the circle of Life.
