Also, Murphy was closer to Maeve than Molly, which means Murphy is not at that time a potential vessel, adding another hurdle to overcome for the theory.

Agreed.
On the Murphy sister bit though, I have long speculated that Murphy's family reunion will get transported into the past.  Something like how Milwaukee vanishes in the Unseelie Incursion in 1994 and is replaced by lands untouched by civilization.  I've liked the idea that Mother Murphy somehow becomes Mother Winter.  I know it's even more ludicrous but it puts a smile on my face thinking about it.  That would require multiple time travel events with some going much further back in time than others.  Actually some, when I posed the theory, suggested that Mother Murphy would be a better candidate for Mother Summer.  That would actually work better in the family reunion theory going into the past with the Mother Summer abdicating at the death of the previous Winter and Summer Queens and then Mother Murphy somehow acquiring the Mother mantle with a screwed up set of succession rules where multiple mantles are up for grabs at essentially the same point in time.  Since another theory ties in with this one, I'll state it here.  I have Mrs. Spunklecrief as being the former abdicated Mother Summer whose last 'job' was to oversee Harry and play a behind the scenes role in protecting reality as a landlord.  Her deafness and speech as a result was a front with perhaps hints laced in.  WOJ says she 'finally retired' to Florida.

As I said before I agree with this with the caveat that Mab didn't interfere with the mantle and succession.  The text tends to suggest that Maeve didn't see another appropriate vessel within Demonreach's ward, or if there was Mab couldn't count on it being uncompromised by nemesis.  If Mab could interfere and prevented the vessel from going to Murphy, then she could be a potential vessel at the time.  I really don't like this though because if Mab=Murphy, there needs to be very little interaction between Murphy and Mab to minimize temporal paradoxes.  I could take the view that she is a potential vessel just not as high on the priority list as Molly at that time.  I doubt it is solely 'nearest' vessel.  I mean if a much better candidate is one inch further from the mantle than a poor prospect I could imagine there being some sentience within the mantle whereby it could overrule the strict proximity rule.

His outsider animated corpse or a future cowl who traveled to the past to die as simon?

raidem:
Or is there a Mirrored Reality Simon that faked his death in this reality like how -Harry uses Harrys to fake his.

HistoryDave:
I think the use of time travel will be more subtle, like a butterfly effect.  One choice made at just the right or wrong moment that causes a split in realities. Any huge event involving dozens of people would cause chaos on a level that would rip reality asunder, it would also be trite from a story telling perspective.  I could see Harry having to patch a rent in reality due to time travel.  In the vein of, Marty McFly has to stop Biff from screwing everything up but some things turn out different because of the events that took place.
