For me, no, my standard of canon has not really changed although my opinions about some things within that canon have changed.
For me the biggest change I've had since my early days is an increasing understanding of what I consider to be flaws in Tolkien's writing, either conceptually or structurally, although in these latter days I tend to worry less about those.

I don't know about that. I've seen debates in the Tolkien community get pretty consistently heated sometimes.
