Is the definition of English as a “French-German creole” (or even a romance-germanic creole) at all mainstream in linguistics? I was under the impression that mainstream linguistics classifies modern English firmly as West Germanic, and discounts the Normans’ infusion of French vocabulary into it as inconsequential.

I don't know about that but definition, creole, romance, impression, classifies, modern, firmly, discounts, and infusion all have french origins.
