Unless Kishimoto himself makes them canon(like with manga versions of Kiba and Raiga), fillers are not canon and thus don't really matter in the end. One would argue that the Kakashi ANBU arc would kinda fall under what you would call "canon-filler" as the event that happened is "canon", but what took place (the actions) are "filler", but I get what you're saying >.<
