Here's the only reason I would be against it: Spider-Man 2099 was written by Peter David (mostly, at least). The Captain Marvel issues he appears in were written by Peter David (meaning he intended it to be the same character). Spider-Man 2099 is getting another ongoing series. Written by Peter David.

This doesn't necessarily mean it IS the same version...but it's worth noting that this means a singular writer will have been responsible for the bulk of the character's appearances, including the as Nausiated pointed out, only prior appearance outside the original line of books he was part of.

And, so far, is there any reason to believe his current adventures don't fit within his established timeline without some sort of outside manipulation (i.e., the past X-Men can't possibly return to the past and have everything be a-okay. Young Cyclops just met his father. That sort of undoes the original time he first met his father. Not to mention all the other new first meetings. Unless the X-Men have just been pretending to not know characters...they're either not the mainstream young X-Men or something happened to make them forget).
