That would be awesome and perfect. Just like they should have just shown Worf without ridges in the TOS Tribbles crossover. Just gives us a wink wink visual gag and proceed like usual.
Just use a "Connie"!

Exactly right, there is the JJ-verse if you want to see a non-canon version.
The Abramsverse version is every bit as much canon as the original 1701.
You can't have two versions of the same ship both be canon at the same time. one is, and one isn't.
TOS got there first
Well, you can. Canon is just the body of work. So all 275,000 versions of the Enterprise from "Parallels" are canon. The multi-verse makes it possible for two ships from the same period of time to be canon.
The Mirror Universe Enterprise is canon as well.
You can like or dislike whatever you wish, but canon is a different animal and not determined by fans.
Even "Fair Haven" and "Spirit Folk" are canon, and I despise them.

What you are expressing is a classic case of the argument from authority fallacy. CBS/Paramount say its canon so therefore it is. I differ from that view entirely.
Because the property is theirs. If they want to decanonize TOS tomorrow, that is their right and everyone making "Star Trek" would have to follow that decision. "Canon" isn't something that fans make decisions on, it just isn't.
Discovery could also feature cameos from Kelvin universe as well.
Star Trek canon is basically anything seen in the shows or the films -- all the shows (including ENT) and all the films (including the Kelvin Timeline). That's not really something fans can cherry-pick and tell other fans, "No, you're wrong. THAT thing isn't canon because I don't think it should be" -- canon is or isn't. Except the Animated Series. Which, to my knowledge, is kind of up in the air. (I think it is.)
Fans can have "head canon", which is your preferred sense of what is and isn't canon, and you're the authority of your own head canon. But for the purposes of public discussion canon is a fixed concept.

Getting Peter Weller back for an episode to play Admiral Marcus (over subspace, Section 31 subplot) would be pretty awesome.
Could be both. I would watch that.No, not unless he portrays John Frederick Paxton, or a future relative of his.
Appeal to authority is not always fallacious, unless the authority is not an expert in the field. In this case, CBS, being the owner of the property, is a proper authority to appeal to.
Otherwise, there would be no Axanar case

Evidence please?
Until I see that outcome actually happen I will consider what you have said as speculation.
