Scotty's troubles with the Enterprise-A in TFF ("I think this new ship was put together by monkeys!") would seem to put paid to the notion that it's an old ship with the name changed.
Not really. The Yorktown suffered catastrophic systems damage as a result of the "Whalesong Incident". The theory holds that it's central computer in particular had to be completely replaced, and that the ship thereafter developed significant systems issues. You will note that the brige module was swapped out between films, for example.
 
Technically, isn't Picard starting the evacuation of Romulus?

AFAIK, as of LD's current time frame, the Romulan disaster isn't due to happen for a few years yet.

The ships were named after actual municipalities. Hollywood is not one of those.

That this is unknown by non-Americans, and even non-Californians is irrelevant. All the ships were named for actual municipalities. Kudos to the writers for knowing the difference between cities and regions of cities.

They've really done their homework. For example, on the USS Vancouver, all of the shuttles are named after neighborhoods (Fairview, Marpole, Kitsilano) in the actual city of Vancouver, BC. And I'm fairly sure the Cerritos shuttles are named after real locations in California (I saw one that said Joshua Tree).

According to the Season 1 press kit, and prequel novel, Picard was promoted and started heading the evacuation project in 2381. Now, neither of those are canon but, it was certianlly part of the writer's room timeline.

This episode does say he was an Admiral, which is in 2381

And I'm fairly sure the Cerritos shuttles are named after real locations in California (I saw one that said Joshua Tree).
Yes

And of the 3 we saw on the Titan, they were named after Jazz musicians.

The USS Cerritos shuttle names are all National Parks located in California. They have a shuttle named Yosemite and another named Yosemite II. The most visited part of Yosemite NP is on the Merced River (Yosemite). There is another less visited part of Yosemite NP on the Tuolumne River (Yosemite II). It is like two parks in one. You need a wilderness permit to access The Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne part of the park.

You're thinking too far into that, Yosemite II is called that because the first Shuttle Yosemite was destroyed.

It's a reference to TOS, where the Enterprise got a Galileo II after the first one was lost.

We need to stop with this 'on screen only' canon nonsense. With production personell now directly dropping factoids on social media, etc, it's time to grow up and accept official word as canon.
 
"Canon" is a contradictory mess. So, accepting another layer won't make it any more organized. Just you've added more information in to the equation. That's it. If they want to change they can as is their right. And audience members will accept or reject it as it their right.

And the cycle continues and nothing changes.
