Evidence of SNW being a possible alternate timeline from TOS

To each their own.
Ah, the Teal'c attitude; "ours is the only one of consequence."
"But it's the same Spock."
"Don't care"
"But we see the prime timeline in the film."
"not listening LALALALALALALALA"
Pretty much.

I don't see why the get so hung up on it having to be the Prime timeline. The nice thing with ST09 was a separate timeline allows new fresh stories. By shoehorning yourself into the Prime timeline you're putting yourself into a corner that doesn't allow much if any risk. All the characters from TOS will survive because they are destined to survive. Imagine how much better SNW would be if we didn't know that the future holds for our characters. A Pike that isn't destined as a mute cripple in a chair, a Kirk that isn't destined to be captain of the Enterprise. They teased us with that at the end of Season 1 and that had the potential for so much more interesting storytelling.
As the consumer you can see it how ever you wish.
Just too much time has passed.
None of what they have shown us in SNW makes me see the TOS characters differently. I liked them just as they are. The prequel stuff especially for Chapel and Spock does not fit well with TOS. They clearly never had a relationship. We even know 6 years.
So I do not think declaring Kurtzman prequel trek an alternate reality would diminish tos at all. Its always been fine as it was.
When we factor in all the material over the years, these characters have all had multiple stories showing where they came from. SNW is just another one. Hard for me to get excited because it is covering a lot of material already covered by novels and comics over the decades.
Even one where Kirk and Spock join Starfleet Academy...
Star Trek: Academy: Collision Course
If you think you know how it all began, think again... Young Jim Kirk wants nothing to do with Starfleet, and never wants to leave Earth. In the summer of 2249, he's a headstrong seventeen-year-old barely scraping by in San Francisco, haunted by horrific memories from his past. In the same...

Books and Comics don’t count. I’ve forgotten most of the plots of the comics and novels. Except that one with Steve the Vulcan.When we factor in all the material over the years, these characters have all had multiple stories showing where they came from. SNW is just another one.

It improves both of them.
TOS is an alternate timeline that branches off of the SNW Prime Timeline - SNW happens first, and their history and culture match up with our reality better than TOS..
Relative of Doug's?
Spock’s cousin actually. Might have joined the circus.
Enterprise: The First Adventure by Vonda McIntyre.
They do for me, since I gave Paramount my money and read them. They count exactly the same as SNW or Enterprise or any of the rest.
Did them for over a decade. Liked the way DC would have to juggle things when a new film came out and two years of stories had to be shoved in the closet.
