Not him, but I've personally accepted R=U as canon, and the only person who has ever said otherwise didn't write the story.
I posted it here before (though I didn't save the link or a screenshot), but an interview Q&A type deal somewhat had Kitase say, about R=U, that he takes what he said previously back. When originally asked the question that people like to cite, he said "no" because that's not how he personally viewed it, but after some deliberation, he realized that it could in fact be true. Moreover, he did not write that part of the script; that part of the script had gone back and forth between everyone, writing, rewriting, editing, etc and it could have been the original intention of Nojima (the credited writer) for R=U, but that this wasn't communicated to the rest of the people handling the script, and so Kitase didn't "get the memo" so-to-speak and had previously discredited this theory.
