It still doesn't seem to be the same level of canon as the comics. Those had direct participation from a writer on the show, this does not. The author even stated that she had free reign when writing the story in an interview: http://www.onceuponafans.com/interviews/from-screen-to-page-creating-reds-untold-tale

To me, that means that this is not true canon, and can be overruled by the show, should they decide to show anything with younger Red.
