I've been reading this comic over, and despite what many people say, I really don't think it's canon.
My reasons:
1. It's an Elseworlds. It says so right on the title. Sure, many people say Elseworlds are canon due to Hypertime and stuff, but hypertime isn't supposed to exist anymore. Besides, there are more reasons, which I'll get to in a minute.
2. Mxy, AFAIK, was never portrayed as being the most powerful of all 5d imps. How could he have destroyed the 5th dimension and killed everyone in it so easily? They should all be at least as powerful as he is. Same with Bat-Mite and his dimension.
3. He said that not only did he destroy the 5th dimension, he destroyed all the numbered dimensions. But aren't beings from higher dimensions supposed to be more powerful? Wasn't there a comic with 8d beings that were stronger than 5d beings? How could he have destroyed them?
4. It's commonly cited by Mxy fans that he isn't forced to return to the 5th dimension when he says his name backwards, it's just a game he plays and can decide not to any time. However, in this comic, it was portrayed as a definite limit that forced him to return. In fact, that's the whole reason he destroyed the 5th dimension: So he wouldn't be returned to it when he said his name backwards.
5. This comic was published Post-Crisis, but they were hopping around the universes the way they were arranged Pre-Crisis: Earth-1 with the JLA, Earth-2 with the JSA, Earth-3 with the Crime Syndicate, Earth-S with the Marvel family, Earth-X where the Nazis won WW2, etc. They didn't just ignore the Crisis, since they visited all of the gathered heroes at the end of COIE, and destroyed that universe too. It makes no sense.
6. Mxy beat the Spectre twice. Yes, I know what you'll say, "The Mxy that was beaten by the Spectre in Day of Vengeance was Earth-2 Mxy". However, the second time he beat the Spectre, it was after he was transformed into Earth-2 Mxy by going there.
7. They visited a bunch of verses that are obviously not canon, such as the Superfriends cartoon universe, a universe that was nothing but unfinished comic storyboards, etc.
All of the evidence says that this is just not canon
