No, just no. It's an alternate universe, where an inciting incident resulted in changes to Starfleet's design schemes, and impacted galactic politics (i.e. no war with the Klingons).Yeah, this part right here is the problem. Because quite frankly, beyond some surface level, it just isn't. It's a weird hybrid, where they pull out pictures of the original crew to get people nostalgic, but Nimoy-Spock recognizes Pegg as "his" Scotty, Khan has a vastly different backstory, the Enterprise is stardestroyer-size and all the universe-rules work differently.
Khan doesn't have a vastly different backstory and the universe rules run at speed of plot like all Star Trek.
No wonder Kelvin Trek upsets people so much if this is the view on it.
