I don't get what you mean by that first part. Eobard revealing himself seemed perfectly fine to me. Jay Garrick was a little more contrived, but still passable.

That doesn't change that "I'm the Future Flash" was how the theories on Savitar being Future Barry started to begin with. All those other ones only make sense after Savitar's identity was revealed. Oliver created Prometheus, but does that make Prometheus a future Oliver? Eobard's relationship was pretty personal too. It was also made very clear Savitar knew a lot, but how he knew wasn't clarified.

The only other hint I'll buy is Savitar saying he knew what was going to happen because he had already lived it (or something along those lines), implying he was a member of Team Flash watching everything from a first person perspective.

And no, I'm not saying Savitar being Barry didn't make sense. In fact that revelation created more sense when there was none before. It made no sense that the God of Speed would have such a huge obsession over one random speedster (even if he was defeated by him in the future somehow), especially given how he never kills Barry.
