Not really. The show does say that Discord ruled Equestria, and the Princesses obviously ruled Equestria afterwards, so it was simply assumed this was the case. It’s never at any point mentioned how Discord took control, obviously he did it by deposing Celestia and Luna.
 
In fairness, ‘Diary of Two Sisters’ also had them as guardians of a federation of allied nations (Earth, Pegasus and Unicorn), so their current situation certainly seems an upgrade.

I will note that ‘Diary of Two Sisters’ has Celestia and Luna take their throne before confronting Discord.
 
The timeline still works.

No, if you read the comic, they are debatting what they should with Tyrek because they think the prirncess will not be happy with him capturing ponies and trying to steal their magic. (I wonder why ?)

Discord: Here’s what you need to do. You need to sit him down.  
Celestia: Yes.  
Discord: you look him DEAD in the eye.  
Celestia: alright  
Discord: and you say. DON’T. ENSLAVE MY PONIES.  
Celestia: And you’re sure that’ll work?  
Discord: he’d have to be awfully evil for it not tom

I always figured the fact that Cheerilee names him as a draconequus implies that there are (or were) others of his kind out there.
 
To me, they’d all have slightly different “parts” making them up, but at least have some dragon and some horse in them.

He’s also the spirit of Disharmony, so I could see him joining an organization for the express purpose of undermining it. He did have that Plundervine plan, which would have takes a while.

Either this isn’t canon or… There were still draqonequus alive during that time. Because Discord was still in stone during this period and the comic would have at least mentioned Discord being there. Maybe another Draqonequus was still alive…?

Show canon: Tirek and Discord knew each other from earlier. Nice to know the people drawing the comics keep up with the details.
