Could be retconned. We’ll see if it’s too small to reed in the actual PIC episodes.

Picard serving on a Reliant was from the TV series (though in a deleted scene). So the Biography was referencing the series
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/USS_Reliant_(24th_century)
Can we assume that the show registered as "Reliant" from a while back was actually ST: Picard?
Countdown while probably out, might not be totally ruled out because for one ambassadors aren't members of Starfleet and for another if his ambassadorship was very short-live that may be why it wasn't mentioned on the plaque.
Maybe they can retcon it and say that Ambassador was what his friends called him because of his tireless efforts at establishing peace with the Romulans (as an Admiral).

There is a certificate that has what looks like Shenzhou Concept art on it, but with Sovereign looking nacelles.

I believe it's "double dumb-ass on you."
Nice. Adding bridging elements from the Discovery era up to that point in time. Which makes sense when you consider how long some ship classes have been around it makes sense many of the ship classes we see in Discovery would not only be around in Kirk's time (we didn't see many anyway in TOS) but maybe lasting into Picard's time as a cadet. Or would spawn similar looking variations. Look at how long the Excelsior and Relient classes ended up lasting.TrekCore has uploaded all their pictures into one article, it includes a lot of stuff that hasn't been posted here yet

This is sure to piss some people off though that were hoping nothing of Discovery would make it this far.
That wouldn't work with Countdown because Picard was Federation ambassador to Vulcan.
@WarpFactorZ has it quite right. Why assume Robert always hated Starfleet? That's a rather odd assumption.

Christ, yet another of John Eaves's derivative designs that looks nothing like a ship from the year 2327.
How do you have a fundraising award in a Federation without money?
Also the Vulcan "dignified person" award just became the best and most awesome award in all of Trek. It's like person of the year but Vulcans choose it.

No doubt there will be a new book/comic showing Picard's promotion and later retirement. But it's always been that the novelverse is not canon, which is sad because in so may ways it's developed the Trek Universe.
I have to say I really dig the costume work for Picard so far!
It's really a nice blend of familiar, futuristic, functional, the weird cothing style of civilians on TNG, and yet looking perfectly wearable and appropriate for a current day show. That's... surprisingly well done. And that people don't even notice it (because nothing sticks in any way out negatively) is a testament to how good the work actually is and how it manages to please all these different (and sometimes opposing) requirements! Kudos!
Ship named for his character in Excalibur is a nice touch.TrekCore has uploaded all their pictures into one article, it includes a lot of stuff that hasn't been posted here yet

Same way Georgiou has a diploma from a Starfleet military academy despite the fact that Starfleet is, you know, "not military."How do you have a fundraising award in a Federation without money?
So Worf does return to starfleet (as implied in Nemesis), but never gets past "Commander".
Maybe he's a Commander in the Klingon fleet?
The artist that created that certificate probably just grabbed what ever ship art they had on hand. I doubt Eaves designed that ship specifically for that certificate.
If he even designed it, we don’t even know if he’s working on this show.

IIRC, he designed over a hundred concepts for Disco. I'm sure they had a deep well to draw from.
Well this one actually looks like a late 24th century ship unlike his released DSC concepts.
It has a Sovereign style bridge section and possibly main shuttle bay, and the nacelles appear (but hard to tell without colour) to have Sovereign style bussard collectors and nacelle ‘grills’.
None of his DSC concepts had those late 24th century design elements. At least ones that we have been released.
