I have no qualms about changing Ghidorah's origin, but GMK is still mystical fantasy.

I think recycling the design of the Multi-Legged Monster is not the same as bringing that exact character back because there was very little character to begin with. All we know was that it had multiple legs, it didn't even have a face! Its easy to take that trait and make it the seed of a new monster design. The fan art on it is a precedent for this.

If you worry that reusing it justifies the canon of the character: the general audience does not know of this teaser creature. Even with the teaser's leak it still remains under the radar. To stop the fans from thinking that it's the same thing, then the artists would have to make it look very different.
