I understand the concern, but because of the Shada novelisation and a recent Titan comic, we accept that both the Fourth and Eighth Doctor versions occurred (by altering accounts). It's not as easy as "The webcast Shada is the only one that counts." If you, for instance, visit the section on the Fourth Doctor's page it is exactly as it would be if the TV version were valid.
As for your concerns about how we would treat the novelisation (since certain scenes are obviously written differently in the TV version to account for the use of stock audio of deceased actors), I think we should just accept both the novelisation and the TV version in both cases. All that's really going to be different is some of the dialogue (Tom also adlibbed as much in the new version as he regularly would), the scenes follow the same order and flow.
My biggest qualm will likely be that I would rather character pages like Chronotis have the "first appearance" variable be the TV version, since that's the real source material. But given that this is almost certainly going to be denied, I am willing to compromise on that point.
