In general I think it makes more sense to just use the Remakes wholesale, since they usually have all the original's content as well as new stuff. Most franchises always take the remakes as the canon version going forward so I feel like it makes sense to just use those, it's also just simpler than switching from the original to the remake for the bonus content

When I get the time, I’ll add all remakes/adaptations of games to the simplified timeline at the same time
What do you think about the theory that Mario 3D Land takes place before Mario 3? I'm mixed on it. The super leaf tree probably could just drop the tanuki leaves every year so it wouldn't necessarily need to be the first time in 3D Land. But the game feels like it's meant to be set earlier in the timeline because Bowser uses Arcade DK moves like throwing barrels. Also in Odyssey we see the Super Leaf tree still doesn't have leaves, almost as if Nintendo is trying to say they didn't grow back or something. Idk I could go either way on it

This honestly doesn’t feel like the best way to deduce its timeline placement. Though, Mario games (mostly the kart ones, but still) feature the leaf power up despite obligatorily taking place after Mario 3. Perhaps there are more trees than just the Tail Tree in 3D Land that create the Tanuki leaves (I’m also aware there is another leaf power up, presumably from a tree of the same/similar species implying there’s more than 1 tree anyway).
Still, if the options are either assuming there’s more trees or placing 3D Land where the bulk of the leaves appear, yeah that other theory seems pretty sound
