I wouldn't say that Touhou revolves around giving fans a great base, at least not officially. I'd like to think that ZUN still only makes the game he really wants to make, without thinking about what the fans want.

As for dicerning what is canon, I agree, it is hard. However, I've also found that there isn't much canon to enjoy. I don't think ZUN has the ability to make the canon a tour-de-force. Personally, I could see some real great dilemas to explore (my favorite is Hina's controdictory existance); however, I realize I'm in the minority, and if ZUN did cater to my desires then a lot of the fanbase would probably leave. Ultimately the fact that things are as vague as they are give touhou a flexible property.

As for a clash of fandoms, I'm not worried.
