But books that made the canon like Revelation, Jude, Hebrews and James were questioned by many of the Church Fathers for the same reasons they questioned some of the Old Testament books.

Polycarp references all 27 of the (Protestant) New Testament books without any reference to your apocrypha and called these references scripture...

Polycarp knew he had the written scriptures as we have them in the 2nd century...

Did you read the article?

If you are going to question the OT Canon because Jerome questioned it then you should regard Revelation as apocryphal for similar reasons.
