Nope. That's conjecture.
Just use a "Connie"!

Canon is the body of work. Any conclusions or interpretations are not "canon".
I would say the opposite; head canon is based on the conjectures implied by canon, or from things not mentioned anywhere at all. It has to do with smoothing over inconsistancies, not creating contradictions. Off screen events between movies, can be head canon. Things like Stiles/Styles, thats headcanon. One of mine, is that City on the Edge of Forever created the diverging point for the Mirror Universe.
It has to be two-fold.... First Contact creates Enterprise which could possibly lead to the Kelvinverse.
In my head canon I am the captain of the Sovereign class USS Awesome which under my command has awesomely saved the Federation from annihilation so often we make all the Enterprises look like slackers. Picard, Sisko, Janeway, even Kirk when there was a time travel incident all look up to me as being totally awesome and the best captain ever. My ship even includes a harem of Orion Slave Girls, for my personal amusement. And I'm in line for a promotion to Grand Ultimate Supreme Fleet Admiral, because any other rank would be too insignificant for me.
What? It's my head canon, I can do whatever the hell I want. Got a problem, make your own head canons more ambitious. Is this even what head canon means? You know what, is now. That too is part of my head canon.
Hey, this is fun.

Back on topic, surely if you can recast a role (Saavik, Cochrane, Zeyal, Kirk, Spock etc), you can "recast" a Constitution-class starship? Why should one arguably far more important element be mutable, and what boils down to aesthetics not be?
Because the old Connie design is perfectly fine and still looks beautiful even today.
That feeling is only valid if the people creating the new show believe it as well.
They don't? Do you know them personally?
Modernizing only applies to things that wouldn't look well on today's TV. Klingon and other aliens' makeup, uniform designs, ship interiors, in-universe technology... this doesn't need modernizing because it looks fantastic today and will still look fantastic 50 years from now...
Still the best looking design produced by the franchise. Looked great in 2005, when it appeared on Enterprise.
Did I say I knew them personally? I'm just making a statement. We won't know until we see the show whether they feel that way. The point I was making is that not everyone may feel like you do, and the ultimate authority anyway are the people in charge of DSC, not us.
Recasting starships?!? That reminds me of '60s and '70s WW2 films where they used American Patton tanks in place of German Panther and Tiger tanks. To anyone slightly knowledgeable it looked ridiculous.
Instead of "recasting" the Jefferies Constitution (which needs no update/redesign/replacement whatsoever) I would prefer if they showed us some new/original ships of the era.

There are fans who believed the same thing about Shatner and Nimoy prior to 2009 (and some still think so today), what makes your opinion on the ship design any more valid?
How many versions of the Batmobile have we seen? Should Ben Affleck still be in the same version Adam West drove, even though, like Discovery's uniforms versus "The Cage", his costume is different?
I never said or implied that my opinion is more valid. My opinion is just that, my opinion.
About as many versions as the starship Enterprise we've seen. What's your point?
