Well that also undid the lore that says all the humanoid races have a common ancestor which I thought was one of the few good pieces of ST lore.
That bit of lore is completely silly. Humans share a common ancestor with bananas if we go back far enough, and "The Chase" proposes to go back even further than that. Still a good episode, though.
However, nothing in Disco's Klingon's undoes that. We saw Klingon precursors when Worf was devolved into one in "Genesis" -- another episode that has a Hollywood writer's understanding of evolution -- and he had an exoskeleton, mandibles, and spit acid.
Does it? It is just more pronounced, which I like. I thought the common ancestors thing isn't really canon
