That's true. Albeit, I think that kind of ruined the "joke" of the Narada that it's just a mining ship and the equivalent of an oil tanker smashing up 17th century galleons.

That's true. Albeit, I think that kind of ruined the "joke" of the Narada that it's just a mining ship and the equivalent of an oil tanker smashing up 17th century galleons.
Thing is, Narada would have had to be upgraded anyway. It was not Nero's intention to go back in time, that happened accidentally. If he planned on taking on 24th century Starfleet and destroying the core worlds of the Federation, he'd need something a bit more impressive than "a simple mining vessel."
Did this shot make anyone else think of The Embrace of Cold Architects?
I think his plan was always to use Spock's Red Matter.
I always take the view that it's best to think of this like Lois and Clark, Supergirl, Superman: The Animated Series, the comics, and the movies.
Or at least to the ones leading into Destiny and afterwards (circa the TNG-relaunch). The first few books (the ones set immediately after the events of Nemesis itself) MIGHT be relatively safe, depending on the breaks.
Titan is already intricately connected to the Destiny series and the rest of the novelverse, which are already kaput.
As a fan of those novels, I think that's okay.
^ You could probably have at least the first few Titan novels (the ones where the starship is way out away from the Federation on its initial exploratory-mission immediately after Nemesis) as a somewhat “safe” run of standalone-ish stories, since that mission seemed pretty disconnected from the rest of the goings-on during the TNG relaunch, but then around the fourth book or thereabouts (the one where the Bajoran crewmember-guy volunteers to stay behind in the past, IIRC?), events start to lead into the coming Borg-invasion, I think, so that could be slightly problematic.
As long as the new show doesn’t establish that Riker and Troi left the ship six months after he took command or something (or Kestra Riker being born within only a year or so of Nemesis), I’m betting most of the early Titan stuff could probably still work. Been awhile since I read those, though, so I stand to be corrected if I’m misremembering anything, here.

I blame Red Matter experiments. Always making alternate timelines!
I wouldn't be surprised if we see shout-outs here and there and am hoping for some but it probably won't contain too many. Still, the Novelverse incorporated a lot of stuff that would never normally have been together so I could be completely surprised.
"Kestra is her Betazoid double name."

I hadn't heard about that, it's a makes sense.
Picard: The Borg are back!
Riker: But how?
Picard: They're in the show!

Well, probably.
Picard really doesn't lend itself to folding in the current novelverse, as I think we'd all expected.
Now I suppose it's a matter of waiting to see what rabbit is pulled from the hat and how the (presumed) reset works.
As the situation has evolved, I doubt we ever see anything like the Litverse rebooted or not again - the amount of Trek content is ramping up so it is unlikely there is the space for anything that is not a direct tie-in to one of the shows (Discovery, Lower Decks, Section 31, unknown show 1, unknown show 2, other animated series).
