No.

OP is saying that fanfiction is valid if it either adheres so close that canon that it does not change anything at all, and character's actions are not motivated by the plot of the fic but by canon background information that is not mentioned in the fic at all; or if the fanfiction is written about blank mannequins without any personality, who only start to seem like people if the reader is told to imagine characters that have been fleshed out elsewhere in their place.

On the other hand, an AU that transposes the character's background and basic motivations into the new setting in a way that makes sense in the new context, by OP's metric, fails as fanfiction.

OP is free to have a preference for economically written, missing scenes style fanfic, but that is not the only definition of "successful" fanfic.
