If we wanted to insist upon a "no retcon" "no dream" universe, then it be best to just believe one of two possibilities:
1. The Wade from Deadpool is a son (or perhaps even a clone) of and the junior of the Wade from X-Men Origins: Wolverine; and the man he called "dad" throughout his abused childhood was not his biological father, unless Wade Senior through the alternate timeline created by X-Men: Days of Future Past, or not, never died, and was thus there for his family.
2. The Wade from Deadpool is the same Wade from X-Men Origins: Wolverine, alive as well as non-mutilated and non-mutated by virtue of the alternate timeline created by X-Men: Days of Future Past but also non-aged for some other reason like being paused in stasis for long periods of time throughout the decades (kind of like Buckey in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, who was thawed out from time to time to carry out assassinations from 1942 to 2012).
In a way, the first aforementioned possibility makes more sense than the second, since it could explain the Deadpool action figure, in that perhaps the figurine is that of Wade's father not himself (or an alternate version of himself that he might have dreamed about). However, of course, we know that this may not hold up since Wade, perhaps through his mutant abilities, has access to the fourth wall (and the sixteenth wall, The Nines, whatever — LOL) and is aware of alternate Xavier Academies spearheaded by respectively Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy.
Anyway, there's a lot going on with. He has been jerked around and experimented upon so much that the only thing that is real in his life is his love for Vanessa. By the way, has anybody here even seen The Nines?

Interesting theories, but too much complicated.
Since it's obvious that the timeline has been altered many decades before 1973, and "First Class" - "The Wolverine" - "Days" (2023) are the product of this divergence, I would say we're dealing with a new Wade born later in the timeline.
------------------------------------->
The X-Men timeline was altered 2 times, not just one (DOFP).
FIRST CLASS was already a "divergence".

That's one thing that has always bothered me about alternate timelines in "science fiction", whenever there are history-altering events that take place before somebody (or some organism) significant is conceived, as the chances of him/her being conceived with the exact same DNA (meaning that an identical sperm and an identical oocite were not only formed but also met), let alone the same sex, are googoly astronomically low, with or without a supposed "butterfly effect". The idea of the identical organism being conceived at earlier or later times is even more mind-boggling. Then there's matter of the spirit world or "souls", maybe reincarnation, what have we. However, thanks for presenting the idea. It counts as a possibility.

OR
the mothers are different, and their physical appearances are supposed to be different, but not their powers.
For instance, even if Mardsen played Cyclops II in 2023, he is supposed to be a different person from Cyclops I (Origins, X1-X3).

Building on your second point, maybe Wade was experimented on in the new timeline but instead of going full "pool" with the laser eyes and katana arms they only got as far as some sort of slowed aging?
I'm not super keen on the son or clone ideas (though X-23 introduces the clone option as a viable one).
Reading my signature constitutes admission that I am correct. (Too late)
