Nothing in What If? has touched the MCU we’ve been following all this time. It’s still skippable. I imagine we’ll see some of the What If..? variants in Secret Wars though.

What If Season 1 connects to Multiverse of Madness in several ways. The most obvious is Captain Carter, but there are a few more subtle nods.

You don't have to watch What If to understand the movie, but it helps.

But Captain Carter is not in the same universe we’ve been following. The one in MoM may not even be the same one from What If…? The only way that affects our MCU is that Dr. Strange knows that there’s Captain Carters out there.

I fully expect the multiverse saga to be used to pick and choose characters from other studios’ movies to keep once it’s over.

Deadpool seems to be on that track. Another could be Michael Fassbender Magneto, allowing him to keep the holocaust origin without making him super old.

Captain Carter was introduced in the What If...? animated series. Maybe it's a different universe character, but the character didn't exist in the comics before the show.

I think you're 100% right that Marvel will pick and choose which characters to promote to the official MCU canon, and which will be ignored. They already decided that Coulson stayed dead as far as the movies are concerned. Any of the Netflix characters could make their debut in the new MCU. We've already seen Fisk and Daredevil, maybe we also get Punisher, Jessica Jones, Luke Cake, Jeri Hogarth, Foggy, a resurrected Purple Man, Nuke, Misty Knight, Colleen Wing, Madam Gao, Stick, and, um.... yeah that's it. From Sony, we could see Venom, Carnage, or Kraven show up if they can manage to make a deal with Sony. I doubt we'll see Morbius, but maybe he gets a brief cameo in Blade?

I think picking up the DOFP XMen cast makes a lot of sense. Fassbender and McAvoy did a fine job taking on the mantle.
