No. The events of the OVA were canon... It even got a manga adaptation.

Vegito made perfect sense. They didn't have a chance against Zamasu as they were, so fusing was the only logical solution. And Goku didn't use the Kaioken because it can literally kill him. He only used it in that one instance because he had to. That's still a nonsense. He was trying to kill Black and Zamasu when he discovered what they did. Who cared if he could die? He was really mad, he wanted to kill, and he could have been revived with present SDB. So why didn't he use the Kaioken back then? Simple answer: bad writing. Hell, a logical power scaling would never allow a simple x2 boost (he didn't even use Kaioken x10) to make Goku strong enough to touch Merged Zamasu, let alone damage him. Super's anime is completely nonsensical with the power scaling.

You didn't get my point about Vegito at all. From a writer's perspective, if you are going to use Vegito, you need to at least allow him to do something. Vegito Blue in the anime was completely pointless, he didn't damage Merged Zamasu a lot, and it wasn't by any means their last hope as you are suggesting. The could use the time machine to go back in time to get the Mafuba. Toei writed themselves in a corner in the moment they make Blue Goku overpower Zamasu with a Kame Hame Ha, not to mention Zamasu being surprised about Kaioken is stupid since he saw the U6 vs U7 tournament so he should have seen Kaioken. But well, Kaioken itself destroyed the power scale in the anime,so it's not surprising. The point is, with Merged Zamasu being barely stronger than Goku's Kaioken, Vegito should have destroyed him, yet they were on par at first.

If the writers wanted Trunks to defeat Zamasu, even in that bullshit Gendikama-forced-sword way, they should know that adding Vegito was unnecesary. It's possible that he was nothing but pure Toei's fanservice just like the first Goku vs Black fight. The way he defused implies so, since it was like it they were trying to get rid of Vegito so he couldn't defeat Zamasu instead of Trunks. We will have to wait for the manga trough.
