I read it but the movie is canon, even if it isn't confirmed, Kawahara worked on it. So it is canon; for example Extra edition is canon even if it's only in anime and not in LN, but Kawahara worked on it and did a sequel in a side story. Also you have said right : all that don't go against the LNs is canon. Also i saw that many are speculating that the decision to adapt Cradle was from Miki (his editor, famous to be bloodsucker) and not from Kawahara. If this is true, i'm a little relieved. Not because i don't like cradle, even if i have prefered a story about Alice, but because it's the usual story where Kirito is with anoter girl and Asuna and the others of the group don't appear. So maybe he was forced to do it but for future he intends to give more space to Asuna and the other like in the movie.
