It’s a title he invented though, after taking control. Continuing to use it is honoring his memory in a way.

That’s true, but to reuse my comparison to Romans, we call Augustus “emperor” too despite the term “imperator” being co-opted from an earlier, different meaning. I can see both points of view here, I just don’t feel strongly enough to see it as a red flag. God knows there are lots of other, actual red flags.
