Cursed Child is Cannon, Rowling says so, and she is the only vote that 
counts smiles.
There are several scenes in crimes that are the Hogwarts setting..in fact 
Minerva is teaching there.
As for  how much more alive Cursed Child is in the theatre, read the 
Broadway reviews.
I respect  you may  wish otherwise, but all the wishing in the world will 
not make Cursed Child  less than Cannon, or make the new fantastic beast 
works  not in the  Hogwarts setting.
As for the depp casting? My thought at the time was box office draw, he 
was put into the role  years  before his professional life went loopy. 
Speaking personally, unless there is a contractual reason, he might still 
be   replaced smiles.
