I don't think it's technically canon, especially given as many of the fights where you can get it are basically fanon versions of events by various in-game characters, but it's not exactly pushing in the opposite direction to the lore either.
Again, gameplay and story segregation - it's a gameplay mechanic given a vague lore term simply to make it interesting but has absolutely zero connection to the actual narrative (it's also pretty telling that the 'Echo' buff was changed name wise to 'Brilliant Conviction' in many battles that had the mechanic, as if SE themselves are basically stating "uh, no, sorry guys, this actually has no connection to the Echo at all, sorry for misleading you"). Basically, it's just the game's way of saying "You're the Warrior of Light and you're going to kick ass here".
