Continuity didn't really become more of a thing until the 00's at least an important part. 90s shows usually had better continuity than previous decades, 80s besides a few exceptions was pretty bad and anything before the 80s had basically very little.
So for the time the 1987 had way more continuity and even season arcs than shows of the time. I read a little bit of the other thread and yeah it was ridiculous what that user was trying to argue.
Even heavily serialized shows have big continuity problems, sagas like Star Wars and whatnot. It's silly to dismiss the 1987 as if it had no continuity.

No contradiction there, the episode where Krang is from a race of brain like creatures is still correct, hell the 2012 crossover basically makes it canon that they're all Utroms. Krang states that he wanted his "body" in the first season and that body turned out to be a robot body.
Yeah the reptilian episode implies that it is meant to be his "real" body, but it's only ever implied and never explicitly said. Knowing what we know now and how it contradicts the previous episode we can assume easily that the reptilian is not his real body and it doesn't contradict anything the show says.
The other popular continuity mistake is the show has 2 Atlantis, that's a bigger whoopsie but the fanon theory is that Atlantis is really big and they're just from different areas of Atlantis.
