Novels aren't canon.
Is it possible to whittle down all the Canon Issues down to 3x Time Lines?

Novels aren't canon.
Which I always found odd, because they have no proof the future time cops have their best interests at heart. What if the further future Federation is an evil tyranny, insuring it's existence through gullible time cops in the present?
Never mind the fact that the future time cops seem to create more problems than they fix.
There is the Prime timeline, encompassing TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT and DSC, with PIC shortly to be added to it.
Then there's the Kelvin timeline, and that's it, at least as far as the official position goes.

I agree. That's because there aren't.
I love this. I'm gonna steal it and use it.
I will list some timelines now, if I can list more than two I have disproven your point:
Whatever timeline the episode Samaritan Snare is in (non time-travel episode picked at random). You can call this Prime if you want.
The timeline Star Trek Into Darkness is in. (Picked over 2009 because it has no time travel.) You can call this Kelvin.
The timeline where there is a war between the Federation and the Klingons as shown in Yesterday's Enterprise.
That's more than two.
Yep. Semi-rebooted 23rd century, huge ENT retcons and all. It's all officially the same world except for the Kelvin movies.
That doesn't mean fans can't make up their own theories to explain away the above. But it's never going to be the official Trek view.
That doesn't count, since it was an alternate timeline that was reset in the end.
The stories you liked happened. The ones you didn't like, didn't.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
I remember him. It was in his signature and everything.
That makes no sense though: If those events didn't happen the Enterprise-C wouldn't have been sent back, which means those events would've happened, which means the Ent-C did get sent back and so on ad infinitum. The only sensible explanation is that there is a timeline where the Ent-C disappears for a moment and reappears and prevents the war, and another timeline where it disappears and doesn't return until far into the future.
Oh yea, what was his name? James Dixon?
No. It was a poster called Mr. Stinky Pants who changed his username to The God Thing. Big TMP/Roddenberry Fan. All I'll say. His beliefs about the real world are controversial.
James Dixon is an Old-Schooler but not a strictly Roddenberry Fan. He's more of a '70s/'80s Canon/Fanon Fan.
Two timelines:
1) The one in which I give a fuck.
2) The one in which I don't.

Oh ok. I'd forgotten about TGT.
Thank you. I was blanking on his handle.
