Yes, that is what this is now. Stuff that might take skeptics out of the movie, but casual fans really wouldn’t bat an eye at.

As for the Poe and Finn scene, I think I’ve solved it:

“He was going to Exegol with Ochi of Bestoon.”

“Why was Ochi going there?”

He learned of a little girl he was supposed to take from Jakku, to the Emperor.”

This definitely doesn’t conflict with anything, as even if Ochi learned about Rey somehow shortly after murdering her parents (perhaps the dagger showed him this?) he then proceeds to die in the sinking fields, so the secret stays buried with him.

The other thing is that this makes WAY more sense than Ascendant. If Ochi knew he was supposed to take Rey from Jakku, then why the heck was he going back to Exegol with D-0, like Finn is saying? That doesn’t make any sense. But if he just learned about her, then it makes sense he’d need to go back to Exegol to report this recent development to Palpatine before proceeding with anything.

EDIT: Heck, I could even fill in some of the empty ADR space that Ascendant leaves us to make this idea more clear - “He learned of a little girl he was supposed to take from Jakku, to the Emperor. He needed new orders.”
