Since the demon planet Voyager has encountered the Borg several times, seven of nine was briefly abducted and used as a weapon to defeat mankind. A transwarp coil was stolen and used which then shaved "several decades and thousands of lightyears" of Voyagers journey towards the alpha-quadrant. Monsters were defeated and space-vagrants rescued.

Or did any of that really happen? If this is the "canon" Voyager then travelling backwards towards the demon planet would take decades, however in this episode they said it should only take about six months? There seems to be some indications that this isn't the case here.

If this isn't the "canon" Voyager then none of what you've watched from the demon planet up until this point has happened and we can kill off this crew safely. But then why would they ever bump into the original Voyager which must have used the transwarp coil? The writing is crumbling at this point.

I don't think this episode fitted into the general Narrative of the Voyager series as it felt so far but opinions are ofc divided. Perhaps it would have found a better home in an older iteration of star-trek? It seems like a poorly thought-out episode with some gaping logical loopholes embedded into it. The disgusting faces of the duplicate crew, which kind of wants to make me puke only reinforced the feeling that I am watching something that could have been good but was so poorly executed that it ended up pure garbage.
