An addendum to my earlier archeological research: in 2010's Forum:Are there Time Lords in Parrallel Universes?, User:CzechOut, who the very next year would formulate the argument-less dogma that non-narrative stories are "secondary", still seemed unsure of the 'canonicity' of Doctor Who: Creatures and Demons, and, indeed, rested his answer to that thread's actual question on the basis of information from the aforementioned book.

So we find that before he participated in the executive decision to exclude these sources from T:VS, CzechOut considered it at least viable that they might be included, and furthermore, found for himself that in practical terms they can be useful sources for information not stated in preexisting stories.

I can but echo User:Najawin's earlier plea for him, and other people involved in the original discussions, to take part in this thread and explain their side of the story at greater length. I have accordingly left a message on User:CzechOut's talk page.
