The final battle of Eyes of Heaven features Star Platinum somehow emulating The World Over Heaven's reality shaping abilities... despite not having done the ritual that Dio commenced to achieve it. The excuse? "lolol it's the same kind of stand"

It's a total ass-pull. A blatant, undenieable, asspull. All to force a parallel to the final battle of Part 3. The problem is, the "same kind of stand" notion at least has some kind of traction on the pretense that it's alluded Dio had one other stand similar to Joseph's (A Hermit Purple) that would later hint to this point as well. There's a logical build-up to it.

There's no logical build-up to EoH's final battle.

Moreover, all the things we'd like to have seen from EoH - character interactions across parts mainly - we got very little of.

So no, EoH doesn't need to be canon.
