Is Malachor a DS Nexus?

Legends might be different though.

So the question is, what role do they play in canon?

The feature in TCW's Yoda arc and Dark Disciple, and one of the lead writers on Rebels has tied the Inquisitor's ability to fly on Malachor to the properties of the Sith Temple, so I'd say they play a role.

Filoni certainly ignores them.

So if they are supposed to make a difference, they didn't think about that when making the fights.
