If you go all the way back to Marvel Comics issue 1, Fantastic Four Volume One, issue 1, Amazing Spider-man 546, Uncanny Avengers 1, Secret Wars (2015) issue 9...
Would you consider the current version of the Marvel universe as part of a multiverse within a single universe?

To me it's pretty much the same reality, but it's in constant flux, changing itself due to the sliding timescale.
DC's concept of a metaverse kind of works better for Marvel, because Marvel actually managed to keep one semi-consistent continuity.

I don't really think there's a meaningful distinction between varying canons. It's all just various titles, and characters borrowing elements from one another.
Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.
