Still, I could see them saying it's not a reboot as a red haring. Also, using my Crisis on Infinite Earth's example, DC rebooted their universe (making a single universe instead of a multiverse) and a number of titles still continued on as though nothing (mostly) happened. So I wouldn't discount what the writers are saying because ultimately they're not going to reveal everything they know.

The Spider-Verse headache I speak of was people assigning incorrect universe designations to characters, creating character pages for characters that already had pages in existence that sort of thing. I can see this happening with Secret Wars for the sheer number of previously established alternate reality characters that people might not be aware pre-existed prior to Secret Wars and have a universe designation.
