personally, I am fine with ignoring canon. but things like the bulders gate games have been confirmed to be cannon ish(There is an official ending and character. they are very different from the game character but fallows the story beat for beat.) and things like Ahriman being referenced in manuals and novels. dnd has a cannon.
You'd need 5e sources for that. Prior editions no longer apply. What was canon is no longer canon. And I've seen explicit statements that explicitly discard novels, games, and other properties as being in any way canon for the tabletop product. They're alternate continuities.
