The level of deviation is not the point, the fact is all DB media deviates to a degree. So by your logic we should simply not scale anybody to Hereos, or use double standards to arbitrarily pick ones that scale despite discrepancies.
Not nearly the same, the anime and manga are separated as strict continuities on purpose, hence why we don't scale Xenoverse or Hereos in those profiles. If we go the route of separating Heroes as strict continuities then like I said, nothing scales, even between heroes stories, and you have 12 versions of Xeno Goku and Vegeta. The profiles become bare and separated into many similar variations, or just disappear completely since all material outside the main arcade becomes unusable.
It is a part of the official media and secondary canon, it is just as valid as anything else. The only thing you could argue is more valid is the SDBH arcade. You don't get to arbitrarily pick which official content is more canon than other content outside the obvious arcade, since that is what it is all based off and promoting.
It is one major difference, however aside from that DB is treated as a story just like in our Universe in the Real world, and we explicitly see that it is supposed to be treated like our own and from the same perspective when they are literally playing UMX and using a 3DS and it is stated they want you and them to experience the story the same way, which alone is enough, and you are supposed to view it from that perspective via your avatar in game. Not to mention all the crossovers, unique characters, similar events and references showing that the various stories are all being considered and incorporated in Heroes to some degree.
Cutscenes don't prove that it is explicitly part of the continuity. DBS anime has them from DBZ/Kai and we don't accept that as sufficient proof they are the same continuity. So not sufficient if you wanna claim the continuities fit almost perfectly. Simply mentioning events from the DBZ/GT/DBS anime doesn't mean it is the same continuity. They mention Buu in the Janemba movie, and show Frieza events in the Cooler movie, but we don't accept them as the same continuity. In Heroes the whole notion of the Real world and them forgetting that all DB lore actually happened contradicts things like GT, DBO etc. where they all know about ki and the past. So no, it doesn't fit neatly in, and is not the exact same continuity.
Sure, some similarities are Xenovese and Heroes clearly both use unique characters like Towa, Mira, Demigra (who originated in Xenoverse) Fu etc. as main story points. They also clearly utilize the movies, GT, Super etc. in their lore. They Also use the concept of the time patrol as well, and have many overarching elements like the time nest, crack of time, Demigra's sealing etc. Many of which originate in Xenoverse, even if they have deviations in Heroes. Xenoverse has also directly crossed over with other games such as Dokkan, which have explicitly crossed over with Hereos further showing the interconnected nature of the various media at least on some level to Heroes. We know Hereos also literally considers the games and perspective we have as similar to their own Real world as shown in the promotional manga when a Demon God literally plays UMX on a 3DS and you are told that they want you and him to experience the story from the same perspective. I will not claim the events line up perfectly, they do not, but you can argue that of any DB media and even the separate media of DBH itself. Trying to alienate Xenoverse or other DB media from Hereos, and accept other media you deem viable is arbitrary and double standards. And going the route of nothing at all scaling is even worse.
Bottom line, if your arguing to separate all continuities and disallow any scaling between them, nothing scales, and we get either desolated profiles with 75% of DBH being unusable due to continuity issues. Or a dozen bare bones, repetitive profiles of the same characters from different heroes continuities. If your arguing to separate some continuities and use others arbitrarily because you think they are more consistent, its still double standards and cherry picking as none line up well all the time. It is not perfect allowing all official DBH content to be used in the profiles, there are inconsistencies, but there always will be no matter what you do, and you would just be creating tons of non beneficial extra profiles, and likely leaving the existing ones a husk with no value, or having no way to incorporate the rest of the media due to the continuities being so similar thus not suited to getting there own profiles separately.
I will not support your recommendation on this.
