For what it's worth, in my headcanon I consider the Boat Busters Rockerduck a separate character from regular Rockerduck because of their appearance. Much like the Rockefellers they were based on, one is John D. senior and the other is John D. junior. I like to stick characters' first appearances for their ages, and that doesn't gel with Rosa's Howard Rockerduck and the son we seen in Raider of the Copper Hill. To me, the regular Rockerduck is a child of the 20th century, not the 19th, making Howard his grandfather. And the less said about the Angones version, the better.
As far as the Beagles are concerned, I've never liked the idea of them being related. They're just a loose organization of mask-wearing thugs, some of whom happen to be brothers. I don't like The Money Well for a number of reasons, and I wouldn't personally consider it canon.
After a Google-search, I realized that the Angones version you mention is the DuckTales 2017-version. I haven't watched any episodes with Rockerduck, but I read that this version was cryogenically frozen, and originated in the Old West... which is... interesting...
Ever since I started reading Duck-comics, I've known that the Beagle Boys were related. The thought of them simply being a loose organization never even crossed my mind. I've always though of them like a crime family. And while I'm not a super-fan of the original DuckTales, I do like the idea of Ma Beagle acting as a leader, which reinforces the crime family idea. So while I don't see anything wrong them just working together without being family, I don't have any problems with them being related either.
It's been a while since I actually read The Money Well closely, so I don't have an opinion of it ready to go. However, I don't recall any universe-breaking stuff in it, so I see no reason for it to be non-canonical.
