Honestly I'd redo Iris's origin, was never a fan of the whole "we hafta split the Reploid" thing. Make them have a twin connection like Middy and Techno, but don't make them one half of the same person or whatever, they don't even look similar. I'd much rather have Double being Cain's latest creation from the English manual being canon over whatever the hell the Japs were thinking with Iris/Colonel. Having Iris show up earlier can work, I didn't like how Xtreme 2 depicted her as a random navigator. Cain's student works fine, so the knowledge they had of X and Zero died with them.
Repliforce being a looming presence since X2 doesn't make too much sense to me, it only makes sense after X2 or X3 where the Hunters are barely holding things together. You can have Colonel as the Reploid that almost replaced Zero though, can add to their drama pretty well. Can say he didn't feel suited for the Hunters after Zero came back, so he insisted on the creation of the Repliforce. (Maybe he can be Green Biker Dude except he just gets injured instead?)
If X2, X5 and X6 good endings are canon, no reason to presume X3's isn't too, but Doppler needs presence post-X3 if that's the case, otherwise he's a waste of a redeemable character. Maybe he mentored Gate a long time ago, or he's frustrated that his antivirus wasn't as permanent as he had expected.
Nameless Navigator is a garbage character, it's clear they really wanted Alia but remembered she should be with Gate (if they exist yet). Just have her replace the Hunter Base speaker at the start of X4 and then have her get killed off by Double as the operator that tries to phone X for help. No need for anything deeper like being Alia and Nana's "mom" or whatever.
Vile retconning Dynamo seems to be something Capcom was intent on doing if I remember right, and it makes him come back every odd game. If Dynamo is more petty instead of -the colony dropper(!)- he can get arrested to show that not all Maverick-adjacent are "retired".
