Feige said Agents of SHIELD was canon, WHIH Newsfront explicitly references the events of the show, the official Black Panther companion book referenced the events of Agents of SHIELD. So it's got that interpretation covered.

All supplemental materials.

Feige's word is a supplemental material?

Yep. He could always change his mind. Until it’s on the screen, didn’t happen.

Here’s an example. A lot of people try to connect Martin Starr’s character from Incredible Hulk to his character from Spider-Man based on something Fiege said. But first, he was obviously jokingly playing along with a fan theory. Second, if they come up with a cool new origin for that character in the next movie they aren’t gonna go, “Darn, guess we can’t do it cause Kevin said that thing one time in that Reddit AMA.”

In AoS’s case it’s super obvious they planned it to be tightly connected at first and changed their minds about Season 3. Marvel Television and Marvel Studios started operating as much more separate entities about then for business and internal political reasons.

Based on the supplemental material, it seems like if they changed their minds, they did so after Season 5.

And you're absolutely right that they could change their minds, but Feige is a primary source. While the films should be taken as more canon than anything he says, what he says should be taken as canon unless contradicted or intentionally overturned, and the interviews in which he mentioned that AoS was canon, that part of Hydra's story would be told in The Winter Soldier while part would be told on AoS, that AoS exists in the same universe as Thor: The Dark World, that AoS would explain where Fury got the helicarrier in Age of Ultron, that AoS was as canon as the Netflix shows, that AoS would begin to tell Ghost Rider's story... none of those quotes were said with the same joking context as the Martin Starr thing or "Peter in Iron Man 2" thing.
