On the Bendy books not being canon: this might be a good thing??? Because at least Adrienne Kress can keep doing what she’s doing without having to work around BATDR. With the ink clone concept (is everybody an ink clone? What actually did happen?) and Joey’s intentions for the cycle (from making living cartoons to torturing ink Henry?), it feels…unclear what is canon anymore. I mean BATIM is stated to be cannon but in what regards? The cycle happens but what about the audio logs? Are we even sure of who died and how anymore? There’s just a lot of things left open enough for the meatley to softly retcon things while not technically contradicting BATIM. And while BATIM is vague enough to fit BATDR’s changes…what about the books? What are we supposed to make of Joey “murders teens” Drew from the books being the same Joey in BATDR who’s being painted in a goodish light at the end of BATDR and in the archives? Hell, Tom’s characterization in BATIM has already been pointed out as inconsistent with the books.
It just strikes me that the meatley always told stories installment to installment, throwing out a flashy twist and vague storytelling. And this is coming from someone who likes BATDR. While Adrienne Kress, as a novelist, has to tell a complete and satisfying story within each book. And like you mentioned, a lot of what she gave us in those books were what people loved about the characters. At least those versions of those characters get to be preserved in someway?
I'll try to address as much of this as possible lol!
I have a lot of thoughts about this ask, and there are some points where I flat out disagree, but I do see where you're coming from! I do agree that the books not being canon leaves things more open-ended, which is a strength in some aspects and a weakness in others.
"...at least Adrienne Kress can keep doing what she’s doing without having to work around BATDR."
I agree in the sense that BATDR is messy. I don't think she had much trouble working around it, though? I mean, we see Wilson in Fade to Black, so I don't think she's afraid of bringing up BATDR.
"(is everybody an ink clone? What actually did happen?)"
Henry at the very least is an ink clone, expressly made for the purpose of Joey having a Henry-shaped stress ball to kill at his convenience (as stated in BATDR.)
If we look at the novels and games, there are three main ways to end up in Cartoon Hell: First, just be created there, like Ink Henry. Second, you can basically be teleported in via the Gent glasses, as shown in Fade to Black. Thirdly, you can just Die In Ink, like Audrey in BATDR. These technically don't contradict each other, but holy hell that's a lot of ways to end up on the wrong side of a Gent Pipe.
"Are we even sure of who died and how anymore?"
Yes, for the most part. We have letters from Allison (who also mentions Thomas), and Wally Franks. We also have confirmation that Henry left to go live with his wife. And we see Joey himself at the end of BATIM.
As for the rest of the cast, we have to think of Henry's Cycle as an imperfect reflection of real events.
The audio logs in particular do line up with things that really happened, and usually we can rely on them. Take Shawn, for example. In BATDR he mentions that he's leaving the studio. Notice that there's no coffin in BATIM with his name on it. In BATIM, Susie mentions that Joey has a proposition for her. Notice that she does have a coffin, and the outcome of her inferred death is...well, Alice Angel. (The details of how she and Sammy ended up in Cartoon Hell are a little fuzzy, but that's a whole other discussion entirely.)
"What are we supposed to make of Joey “murders teens” Drew from the books being the same Joey in BATDR who’s being painted in a goodish light at the end of BATDR and in the archives?"
Oh boy. If you want my opinion, BATDR really shits all over Joey Drew's victims, regardless of his kill count in the books.
Let's pretend the books don't exist for a minute. Joey still manipulated a woman with the end goal of getting her killed for his own selfish gain. He almost worked his best friend and business partner to death and kept him from seeing his wife for days on end. His accountant died in a horrible and unspecified manner on studio premises. Norman, Bertrum, and Lacie all died as a result of working at JDS as well. Not only did Joey kill real people, but he made an artificial world in which basically all creatures suffer. Don't even get me started on the Lost Ones in Chapter 4 (which include children, by the way.)
It's also confirmed by Grant in BATDR that Gent was "pouring in some funds", and while you could argue it's just for research without killing anyone...they still made the Ink Demon. Nobody's gonna sit here and tell me that A. the Ink Demon never escaped, and B. His kill count was 0. No way.
I get really sussed out at BATDR saying "Well, Joey kind of raised a kid so he's paid his just desserts!" In short, that's not a Bendy book issue, it's a BATDR issue.
"...a lot of what she (Adrienne) gave us in those books were what people loved about the characters."
I'm not gonna lie...I really wish she was a writer for the actual games. Lol.

“  hi!  you  must  be  charlie,  right?  i’m  ramsay,  it’s  so  great  to  finally  meet  you!  “          what  a  strange  situation  to  be  in.  first  off,  aisling  going  time  travelling  and  ending  up  stuck  in  the  wrong  era?  perfectly  possible  when  it  comes  to  her.  but  then  renée  decided  she  wanted  to  help  her.  and  etienne,  the  loyal  best  friend  that  he  is,  agreed  to  join  her.  after  that,  one  by  one,  they  all  ended  up  going  back  to  doctor  strange  and,  in  true  form,  ended  up  in  hawkins,  1983,  exactly  as  aisling  moved  to  the  suburbs  and  balance,  or  a  form  of  it,  was  restored  to  the  town.  but  now...  well.  now  hawkins  is  on  the  brink  of  a  new  variety  of  chaos.  and  charlie’s  proving  herself  to  be  the  strongest  person  alive,  given  everything  she’s  been  through  in  one  brutally  cruel  week...  best  to  set  those  thoughts  aside.  he  steps  aside,  one  arm  outstretched  to  accept  her  coat,  the  other  deftly  knocking  fresh  snow  from  the  doorstep  with  a  broom.          “  aisling  and  the  others  are  inside,  there’s  mulled  wine  on  the  stove,  and  henri  is  making  some  snooty  french  appetisers  in  the  kitchen.  you  just  go  on  ahead  and  make  yourself  at  home,  okay?  “
