Yeah, more or less Legion is doing its own thing. It's in a world where mutants exist, but that's it, so almost like an alternate universe. The closest nod we get to continuity is we see Xavier's wheelchair in a brief flash during one episode. And when David conjures up an image of what he believes his father looks like, he imagines a bald man in a suit since Xavier likely fought the Shadow King.
And both Patrick Stewart and Dan Stevens seem on board with the idea of Xavier appearing in Legion if that were possible, and since it's an alternate world with no direct ties to the films, it's not impossible. Granted, Hawley could obviously recast and get someone besides Stewart or even McAvoy to play Charles, but if the show was going to go with an actor, I feel like Stewart would make the most sense.
