Official D&D lore has absorbed elements from various creators campaigns since the beginning. That doesn't mean the entire campaign is canon, only the elements that are actually put in print.

so you missed the entire D&D wotc book that make exandria one official D&D setting?
Exactly. Whatever goes into print is official, stuff that's not printed isn't. What is your point?
The continent described in the book don’t exist in a void: the entire setting is canon, like the entire forgotten realms are canon even the part with no books based on them.

in particular: the event in the book are connected directly with the second critical role campaign!

This is ironic, considering that initially BioWare chose the Sword Coast as the region to set their games in precisely because nothing within other Forgotten Realms media was happening within that part of the world.

So going through the prequel adventure Decent into Avernus at least one of the critical role characters is cannon thus making the setting and all the characters apart of the universe. Originally I thought they were their own world and had zero cross over.

Specifically it's this guy called Arkhan the Cruel. So if anyone is wondering where the hand of Vecna is in cannon lore it's in hell and he's trying to use it to free Tiamat.
Oh, no... That doesn't necessarily mean the character's gonna feature in the videogame, right? Right, guys? One of the things I liked in the BG3 promos was the complete lack of Dragonborn. Don't do it, Swen, my ass can only take so much... You can't do anything about nü-Tieflings and chaotic Pallies, but you can still say no to scalies!
They really can't say no to scalies, since they already said that they are going to implement every class and race from the Player's Handbook and the dragonborn race is in there.

I realise there's no escaping the only race to out-edge dual-wielding Drow rangers in character creation, but I was hoping there wouldn't be any Dragonborn NPCs lumbering around. I've banned them at my table (along with reintroducing proper alignment restrictions), and I'd like to continue pretending like they never happened.

I'm not up to date with the lore on them - what's wrong with Dragonborn?

I would hope so, but they've been completely "that's a big commitment and there are no current plans for it".
