Even better question: Does any series actually need fandom validation to be enjoyable?
Don't lose sight of what actually matters here and why we're all on NB celebrating this story in the first place.
What's more important- that Boruto is canon? Or that Boruto is fun? (Hint: It's the latter)
Me, I'd prefer to watch something that has
direction. Not just a bunch of aimless, pointless, fillers.That's what having standards is. And like when an anime follows a "criteria", rather than just giving characters random feats and traits at random times.Good timing, to provide a better story.Despite DBS being the original, it still has things that kind of don't make sense or add up, or just isn't directed/orchestrated well, unlike in the manga.It's all about having good taste.
If it's a plot, to convey an even
bigger plot...then that's understandable.But it all has something to do with the bigger plot.If the filler is made to go in depth of something that has something to do with the "canon" plot, then that's understandable too. Random, aimless, fillers?Not always interesting.
