The manga was specifically listed on the timeline as the canonical version of the events and until any if the current media starts referencing filler episodes then they arent part of the the narrative.[] That statement can be used for anything that has shonen jump stamped on it. Even the timeline in question.

The Otsutsuki are the narrative for the Boruto series and last time I checked, Asura and Indra were Otsutsuki.

That defeats the purpose of it being a timeline because it wouldn't show when any anime events happen relative to the novels. It's first and foremost intended to be a timeline, not a comprehensive list of all canon works hence why they put manga chapters 1 and 700 on it but not any of the chapters inbetween. Interesting thought. A timeline is a timeline after all.
