To be honest, I'm not too concerned if the pages from the Dark Knight Returns animated movie link to the comic character pages (Earth-31), for example.

The reason I have concerns about Watchmen is because we now have a TV sequel to the graphic novel (which contradicts the movie), a comic book sequel to the graphic novel (which contradicts the show), and a movie that changes the ending to the graphic novel.

As such, it doesn't make much sense to link all of it to the comic book universe when all three timelines are very different from one another. It will confuse readers.

People watching the TV show as a sequel to the movie will be confused, because of the themes and the squid thing carried over from the graphic novel.

Likewise, the comics and the TV show are such different interpretations of what happens after the graphic novel that Doomsday Clock depicts Rorschach's successor as a black man, while the TV series depicts his successor as a white supremacist group. Imagine that multiverse crossover...
