Sorry for the silence, my computer was a pain in the ass for the last days.

So. Each origin of Galactus complete each other. Nothing is drastically incompatible. The handbook links them together. Nothing in Al Ewing's recent stuff contradicts it. What you see as all-erasing rectons are simply retellings fitting the era, like in many comics.

And everything is canon, the handbook is the proof, until it is clearly stated otherwise. Like an author explicitely stating that Adventures of the X-Men are now non-cannon (we would then have a trn for them) since it messes with the development of his own storyline.

I will complete your comparison:

Origin of Galactus - X-Edition:

The "Cosmic Egg" explodes and ejects Galactus' spaceship into the new universe, where he undergoes a slow metamorphosis (incubation in his ship);''
 * A "crippling plague" makes its way to Taa after killing many races and species throughout the universe;
 * Galan is sent to find a cure to it but there's no cure to be found, so he returns to Taa with the me;
 * Galan and the remaining Taa-ans use one of their spaceship to fly into the "terminal point" the universe to die gloriously;
 * The Living Tribunal crafts the Brothers
 * ''Phoenix tries to heal the Mkrann, fails, and harness the positive emotions of the universe (saving it from eternal damnation, cf Phoenix Handbook), the Mkrann explodes and reality achieve to end
 * ''All Taa-ans inside the spaceship die, but Galan merges with the "Sentience of the Universe" and survives the end of that universe;

Source:

That's pretty much the same as in other issues, with the development (not retcon) about the Phoenix and the Dweller interventions.

Nothing appears about the Phoenix in Galan's flashbacks because the Phoenix didn't actually appeared to Galan. Plus every story doesn't represent every details on the said story. Phoenix is a detail for Galan story as it didn't interacted with him directly (but a bigger detail to the whole thing).


 * " it doesn't make sense for them to have been born in the Sixth Infinity just to be reborn in the Seventh Cosmos": That is an assumption. Maybe the Phoenix harnessing the positive emotions of the universe did that too. Also, it's because it is kind of the happy ending of the issue.


 * "we know the Marvelverse doesn't stay the same when it goes into a renewal." We don't exactly knows in which ways, and the conclusion of the watcher in Adventure of the X-Men is "What had gone before returns in newer, more wondrous manner! Truly is this a universe of limitless possibilities--of neverending marvels!"

About the stuff I was gonna write before my computer crashed:
 * We don't know what Kirby science is. So you can't suppose it would exclude this or that.
 * We knew about the multiversal renewal in fact: We just didn't knew it had occured that many times.
 * We can't decide to ignore official material because they might be contradicted, but haven't been yet (or else we can't write anything because everything might change at any moment). Nothing more is really know about that Kirby science; The sixth infinity still features Eternity, aliens (or are those color-faced Taa-ans) and Taa-ans (Ultimates Vol 2 2), as it did in the other known appearances; the rest could still exist.
 * The decision for (the one and only seen on comics) "Earth-0" was it was Earth-616. Then it was decided at a point I don't recall, that Adventures of the X-Men wasn't picturing "Earth-0", because we had no proof it did (reality designations were asked, but an official correction to an handbook intending to clarify the intent of authors seems enough). Which we have now.
