Hard to tell whether its considered canon though, as there is a small contradiction with his end dialogue in the game.  |
Dialogue alone isn't the only issue. The situation portrayed in the manga is very unlikely considering the evidences, and some characters aren't exactly the same, be it Leon, Byakuya etc.

Our dear protatgonist made a few mistakes here, starting by the way he tried raising flags (note in the game monokuma even states that he raised a flag).

That's more like Monokuma joke regarding "galge looking" situation for Makoto there. Past that, it has little to no meaning. In fact, generally, this flag made most people used to VN/galge think that Sayaka would not commit a crime and/or won't die any time soon, being the love interest.

He should have been more suspicious of her too, after she told him how she did terrible things in the past (cut out dialogue in the anime)
It was imho pretty clear that she would either turn yandere or kill someone at some point, so yeah everyone shouldd have been more cautious, that includes Leon and Naegi.

Shady business in entertainment field doesn't mean you are ready to kill someone. Idols are basically stuck in a strife for popularity, which include fishy business done by the manager, taking all opportunities for shows/live, spreading rumors etc. Arguably nothing close to murder, and I never heard of a murder case specifically related to idol business in Japan.
Considering how she was portrayed thus far, if Sayaka had a proper psychological support (as in thorough discussion over her inability to cope her loss of "purpose"), past the initial shock, she would be on the same page than Aoi. The mental unstability was due to the shock and the lack of time to think more about it, hence why her murder plan was prepared the very same day, with a very high risk.
Also, Dangan Ronpa IF confirms that she isn't dead set on murder to the point she would take every opportunity. To the contrary, it was a one time pressured decision.
