That one is from Itachi shinden. Also very good one tbh, would definitely recommend a read on that
Approved and part of main timeline, also multiple adapted into both manga and anime. Some are written by Kodachi, too, who was main writer of Boruto as well as the movies, plus more or less Kishi's only successor. Kodachi also confirmed he supervised novels in general. Kishi approved with illustrations and stamp too.
If they contradict manga at any point, it should be ignored like some The Last movie segments, but they're very consistent from what I've read so far tbh.

Kishi illustrating is least relevant of reasons stated tbh. Kishi's seal of approval, Jump placing them on canonical timeline and Kodachi supervising is what matters
They're announced canon, as they're part of main timeline by Jump, and they asked Kodachi, the main writer of Boruto manga for over half a decade and co-writer of canon movies, to specifically supervise them

Kishimoto's involvement ends at illustrating, these are issued by JUMP, not Kishimoto.
One of the authors of a Naruto novel trilogy doesn't even consider her work canon.

For example, purple lightning was introduced in novel even before Boruto was a thing.
And no, the author says the main manga is main truth. Which it is. If there are any inconsistencies, the manga takes priority. Same goes for The Last or Boruto movie. It's basic respect. Since Kishi himself isn't supervising, even if Kodachi is, what Jun said is just obv.
Yes, the Naruto manga takes precedent over spin offs. Goes without saying?
Doesn't change that they're still certified by Shonen Jump as canon, the literal owners of Naruto IP, stated as follow up stories in final chapter of Kishi's manga, and are specifically asked to be supervised by sole writer of Boruto.
You can say they aren't Kishi's work and you're right. But they're canon, as in they happened in Naruto main timeline. Just like Boruto; both anime and manga. Kishimoto was asked to illustrate for them as canonical material. Kodachi was asked to supervise them as canonical material. Owners of Naruto decided that they're canonical fill-ins.
That's why they got adapted in Boruto anime, which is canon too, as well as manga spin off under Jump banner

Or "Naruto is the original series and this is just my fun spinoff." It does not mean mesh the two together and call it canon.
Boruto gets special precedent due to Kishi working on it himself on and off and his approval for it, same with The Last.
The novels are not written by Kishi, are only licensed by JUMP, and have the same weight as Naruto filler. Same officiation, Kishi had to sign off and give his approvals to that as well. Both in formats different to the originals.

It is not his fun spin off though? He's hired to interpret and write. It is certified canonical part of Naruto main/manga timeline by Shonen Jump, the owners of Naruto.
Jun is hired to write it under their banner and Kodachi, sole writer of Boruto's up until 2020, supervision.
If Shonen Jump decides something is canon, present them as canon, ask Kishimoto to illustrate for them under that banner, ask Kodachi- the main author of Boruto who comes up with story flow and plot of Naruto going forward all on his own- to supervise them, and them release them under official timeline, then they're canon.
Again, call them not Kishi's work and you're right. Call them non-canon and you're wrong.
Kishimoto himself claimed he is separate from Boruto for most parts, is often on trip and vacation after the ending, and just checks over stuff once made.
Boruto was never Kishi's story to write other than tweaking inconsistencies until 2020.
Kodachi was sole writer, and one who came up with and delivered the content as well as story-writing. Same Kodachi who supervised novels.
All plots, entire story, everything were from Kodachi. Same one who supervised the novels.
Kishimoto signed off, illustrated and gave approval to Light Novels as canonical material, because that's what Jump presents them as. Anime filler is not. Movies are not outside of The Last/Boruto.
Hell, they're literally follow-up stories stated in Last Chapter of Naruto. Are part of official time-line by Jump, and are literally supervised by author of Boruto.

And "the original comic is the only truth," which is just as if not more important. She acknowledges the difference between her interpretation of the main franchise and the main franchise. It's a distinct difference.
Not written by the author.
Minimal to no involvement.
"Canon" they are not.
These are outside works that often contradict the original series, either plot wise or by writing the characters in bizarre ways.

Lacking Kishi's involvement and being canon are different things entirely. Specially when Kodachi is involved, who is main writer of Boruto and comes up with all stories and plot-lines on his own, meanwhile Kishimoto remains separate for most parts.
Jump considers them canon to Naruto manga timeline.
Kishimoto signed them off under that banner of being canon to timeline, and included them in his final chapter.
Kodachi supervised them as canonical material
Yes, if there are any inconsistencies, ofc Manga is given precedent. She doesn't need to say that for anyone with common sense to understand. It being "only truth" encompasses Boruto, as well, btw, Jun is essentially saying Kishi's interpretation of characters and such takes precedent over every single material outside of Naruto manga.

The winner gets special manga from Kishi. So people voted for the one they wanted a story of. Naruto and Sasuke are two main characters of original series, so of course not many would want to see them get spin offs on top of that.
Likes of Shisui and Kakashi's dad have major potential for exploration and cool world building
Also, I think a bunch of Sasuke fans who still wanted to see Sasuke in a spin-off switched their votes to Sakura, since she had bigger chance of winning, and he'd most likely appear in her story lol
