LTD:

The LTD is a just what it says on the tin: it’s a debate. It can civil and intelligent, which I like to see, or mindless and stupid.

My stand:

  • Cloti is the more strongly supported outcome of the original game but it’s not definitive
  • Cloti is a canon pairing in in the Compilation of FFVII
  • Clerith is a potential in FFVII whose cut when Aerith died
  • Clerith is strongly supported by the Compilation of FFVII but it’s not as definitive as Cloti
  • Zerith is canon and will never be decanonized although it doesn’t mean they are lovers in death

Those pairings actually do not contradict each other at all if they’re all canon in any given timeline. But if none of them are canon, a lot of important themes the writers wanted to show are also deemed to be non-canon.

You don’t need the LTD to enjoy the ship and the LTD is not just for the sake of shipping. I take it seriously because I want an objective analysis. The following contains stuff arguing Cloti’s canonity:
