The closest we got to Alex being canon was the final boss of the twinning - But considering the nature of alex, alternate timelines...Time travel and parallel universes...Its not confirmation its canon.
Well, and the Crystal Tower. That one kinda plays a minor role in Shadowbringers, but it could be easily missed. Also the Red Mage job quests return to the Weeping City after we've (mostly) cleared it. Also pretty sure someone off-handedly mentions Rabanastre outside of the 24man questline so that seems like it exists. Alpha wanders the world after clearing Omega, he can be spotted all over the place. Heck, the origin story for the very race you're playing is explained in Alexander!

Yeah all the raids are canon. The Savage/Extreme modes have a certain level of embellishment from the Wandering Minstrel/Minstrelling Wanderer but indeed, the base versions of stuff did happen. Now, if your personal headcanon is that it hasn't happened that's fine, but saying "just because it's not part of the MSQ means it didn't happen!" is just silly.
