Brikar have been featured in illustrations on the covers of New Frontier novels and illustrations within the YA TNG Starfleet Academy novels in the 90s.

To be fair, if we treated book covers as canon, this is what the Kobayashi Maru would look like versus John Eaves design.
Wow! That’s a blast from the past. That ship was actually taken from the Starfleet Tactical Database (Series 2) by Lawrence Miller (1992) - Sheet 3, Row 2 - the Tritium-class Exploration Vessel. I don’t recall it being associated with the KM before or since it appeared on the cover of this book.

...mirror Janeway? XD
She said she was playing three versions of Janeway this season.
Yes, but we have no idea/cllue if the fake/illusion Janeway we saw on that planet in the Hirogen system would classify as one of the three versions of Janeway.
I would have thought this line would refer to Janeway variations that are more 'real'? This of course includes holo-Janeway as she's a continuous presence on the Protostar.
Plus it leaves the door open for flesh and blood Admiral Janeway to make an appearance too.
From Worf's First Adventure, Ch. 2, the first description of Kebron: "He was tridigital, his hands ending in three long fingers; two in a V-shape accompanied by an opposable thumb. In contrast to the rest of his rugged appearance, the hands looked relatively delicate... His skin was dusky brown, with highlights of pure ebony... his skull... looked squared, many-faceted like a rough diamond. His ears were small holes in the side of his head, and his nose was two vertical, parallel slits that started between his eyes and ran to just above his mouth."
Here's an image search result of official and fan illustrations. He kind of looks like one of the Rapa Nui (Easter Island) statues without a nose.
Rok-tahk looks very different, less like a single carved block of stone and more like a cuter version of Ben Grimm/The Thing's spiky 1990s comics appearance, covered in hundreds of separate rocky scales. She also has four fingers on each hand instead of three.
It might be that half worked on part one and the other half on part two and they are just listing them all for both episodes.
Aaron Waltke explained the crediting over on r/StarTrek:
It’s much more common in animation, because unlike with the WGA there is no rule against sharing credit with more than three people. Most TV shows, including live action, are heavily rewritten by many more people than the one person credited as “the writer” of the episode. In this case, we all contributed equally, so we elected to share credit!

I figured it was probably because the rules are different for animation. Although they really shouldn't be. There's been a push lately to bring the pay and such for animation writers into parity with what live-action writers get, because what they do is identical, so there's no valid reason to treat them differently.
Emphasis on the word "cute".
I guess Murf is the original crew which had never left the ship but somehow (perhaps due to the anomaly) merged into that being. Some hints seem to support it, when they escape from Tars Lamora, Murf "coincidentally" activates the phasers just when desperately needed. When Dal says, "Welcome to the crew, Murf", Murf appears to kinda respond by cooing (and burping).
Gwyn also notes they are smarter than they look.
Dear God. Will this Janeway also have her own Tuvix situation, except it might be dozens of people? Would Murf even object?

To say nothing of all the times the characters would be wearing the wrong uniforms for the time frame in which the story is set...
That being said, between artistic license and the fact that one character is an 8 year old girl and the other is a young adult male, I don't see an issue
It's not an "issue." I don't think anyone's complaining that the redesign was "wrong," merely confirming that the Brikar were described and depicted in enough detail in the books that the show's version does, indeed, constitute a substantial redesign. That is not a value judgment, it is simply establishing an objective fact.
I wonder how large all of UnderSpace really is.
I know that we only saw a tiny fraction of what is out there.
Could UnderSpace expand out to the entire Milkyway and we don't know where the entrance / exit apertures are located?
We’ve already seen in PIC and DISCO that after Janeway crippled the Borg in “Endgame,” the Borg’s abandoned transwarp network is now used by all sorts of ships, including civilian ships, as a shortcut across the four quadrants. It seems there has been a “space race” in the years since Voyager, which makes perfect sense.
