That should be applied to Tekken 5. Jin has the canon ending, so any others that contradict it (Like Heihachi's where he interacts with Jinpachi in cutscenes) should be ignored. Meanwhile someone like King who is just goofing off doing whatever should totally be fine with his ending being canon as it has nothing that contradicts Jin's.

Plus Jin was in a coma all of Tekken 7, yet is still playable. No retcons there. That's just how it is.

As for DBZ/DBS, The DBZ anime was CONFIRMED non canon. So Gregory in Super is nothing more than just a plot error. Tekken Tag 2 again, has NEVER been confirmed non canon. People just assume it is. Also, none of Super's plot points and lore are locked behind Z's anime, where as many characters stories in Tekken 7 are reliant on what goes down in Tag 2. Steve especially since his is pretty much a direct continuation where he's searching up more about his past.

A retcon is hardly the same as a continuity error.  

And how does Tekken Tag's canoncity differ from DBZ and DBS? Dragon Ball Super has a character that only appears in the Z anime, Gregory, but that does not mean Z is canon to Super. And no, not everything that could be seen as contradictory in tag 2 has a silly explanation, far from it. 

In Tekken 7, there wasn't even a tournament. Heihachi announces one, but it's cancelled. Yet many character episodes mention them joining the tournament and partaking in it. So obviously anything that has to do with a tournament should be disregarded since it never canonically happened. But stuff like Nina and Steve meeting up to discuss Steve's creation and whatnot (important plot and lore exposition) in his character episode which has nothing to do with the tournament is totally fine as none of it contradicts the fact the king of iron fist tournament 7 never happened.

That should be applied to Tekken 5. Jin has the canon ending, so any others that contradict it (Like Heihachi's where he interacts with Jinpachi in cutscenes) should be ignored. Meanwhile someone like King who is just goofing off doing whatever should totally be fine with his ending being canon as it has nothing that contradicts Jin's.
