Don't forget that the Barathot are "apocryphal" Mishnas not included in R. Judah Nasi's original edition but included later in the Talmud. Which means that they too predate the editing of the Mishna.
One possible reason for theirnot being included may be that they present divergent opinions not accepted by R. Judah.
Case in point: the Baraitha I mentioned in Baba Bathra 14b, which not only gibes a different order of the books of the Tanakh, but also does not ascribe the composition of the entire Torah to Moses. (The last 8 verses are ascribed to Joshua, for obvious reasons).

I don't, but good point. Here's evidence that way after the 2nd cent. CE
there were still discussions going on, even within "normative" rabbinic
Judaism, about the order of the canon.
