Hartnel is before my time, but I'm a Tom Baker (and Jon Pertwee) fan, and I have no problem with Ncuti Gatwa, or Jodie Whittaker, for that matter.  And the Timeless Child is just a plot device and very unlikely to be retconed.

Speaking as a fan for whom Hartnell was not before my time (though

But that's not Ncuti's fault. He's doing a fine job, the show is overall
 pretty OK and entertaining, currently on a quality upswing, and I look
 forward to what's to come next season as well as hoping for a coherent
 resolution to this one.
