Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

There are many cloaking discrepancies in Trek, like cloaks being detectable by motion sensors in "Balance of Terror" but not in "The Enterprise Incident,"...

Not a discrepancy as the cloaked ship In TOS S1 Balance of Terror could be detected via motion sensors if it was in fact moving.

That's why they had the dialogue in TOS S3 The Enterprise incident that the Romulans had developed a brand new cloak that rendered a ship completely undetectable whether it was moving or not.

In fact back in the day, some fans would claim this was a continuity error when in fact it was not because the Federation had seen a Romulan cloak in Balance of Terror, but these fans had forgotten that it was just a visual cloak and a moving ship could still be detected.

Mirror Universe Klingons having cloaks in "Crossover" (or was it "Through the Looking Glass?") but not in "The Emperor's New Cloak."

This is the only real error. The writers simply forgot that the Klingons uncloaked in their first scene, and it never came up again in any of the other episodes so they just forgot it was a thing. It's just unfortunate since the entire idea of the episode is based on "hey we've accidentally never shown cloaks in the mirror universe, what a stroke of luck!"

Which is my point, that every discrepancy in the depiction of cloaking can be explained by the technology constantly changing in response to detection countermeasures. "Balance of Terror" showed that cloaks were vulnerable to motion sensors, so by "Incident" they'd developed a better cloak that couldn't be detected. And the same thing can be presumed every time we see cloaks penetrated in one episode or movie, yet impenetrable in a later one.

This is the only real error. The writers simply forgot that the Klingons uncloaked in their first scene, and it never came up again in any of the other episodes so they just forgot it was a thing. It's just unfortunate since the entire idea of the episode is based on "hey we've accidentally never shown cloaks in the mirror universe, what a stroke of luck!"

As I said, though, it's easy to reconcile.
