So the "Tournament of Power" was just a tool by Toriyama to "canonize" some non-canon elements?; There were many inside references to things we know and love

Let's do the basic breaking down:

Mosco = Luud
Kale = Broly
Caulifla = a Saiyan gang-leader (sort of Turles to my taste)
Pirina = Lord Slug (design-wise)
Saonel = Darker Piccolo with Nail-esque dressing (not really canonizing but rehashing in a way)
The Preecho = Cell (another rehashing - a nod for Tien's fans)
Maji=Kayo = Baby-like mechanics
Hyssop = Ebifurya and Eis Shenron's freezing trademark ability
Dercori = Somewhat of Oceanus Shenron
Zirloin = General Rildo (design-wise)
Ribrianne/Brianne de Chateau = Para Para Brothers' design in a way alongside the annoying (and lack of) character
Zarbuto = canonization of Toei's (mustached) Tsufurjin design
Jimeze = canonization of Toei's Yardrats design
Koitsukai = GT's Giru design in a way
Koichiarator = Sigma Force Canon IMHO
Shantsa = his holes and chubbiness reminded me of first form/fat Janemba
Anilaza = Hatchiyack, Super Android 13, Janemba & Hirudegarn (combined)
Universe 3 = Planet M2 in a sense

Edit: Android 17 being "too powerful" is a rehash of the Super 17 Saga story element.

Well, Super has a tendency to make a lot of tributes to Dragon ball moments of the past, the movies, but also to other series next to Dragon ball.

Last episode we've gotten a Sentai-tribute.

So yeah, some non-canon-things of the past are getting 'canon' that way. If you would consider Super as complete canon. I consider it somewhere between GT and the original series. Nothing really 'big' happens without Toriyama-autorisation, but it's not based a 100 % on his script either and Toei gets a lot of freedom to fill in the details the way they want to.
