Canon should be followed to an extent otherwise it's your own work wearing another IP's skin. If making a new plot it's obviously not canon and you'll have to twist things to make it work; but, when going off the rails there should be an explanation for it no matter how shitty or handwavey. Rumia could be there because maybe fear isn't necessary after all and Youkai can subsist off of something far more accessible. The villagers could be okay with it because if she stirs up trouble she'll be quickly put in place by anyone wanting to keep the peace, be it the miko, villagers, or other Youkai. The tax policy could be lax because there is no feudal lord to pay and the kappa maintaining the roads is paid in cucumbers. Gods turn into advisors to both Humans and Youkai and answer questions, problems, and prayers in exchange for faith, ritual, and worship. A solution to the problem >>44785438 mentioned.
As long as you give a thought to correcting or covering the plot holes created by your own canon, I think it's fine since it shows you at least thought about it even if the reason is kinda half-assed. At the same time, understand that this is completely unnecessary filler for some fanworks—like pornography—where the reader could care less about the "whys", just that they can see their favorite 2hu get their pipes filled.
