When Goku used it vs Freeza, he had that rough aura which he hadn't shown in his base state before and white-ish eyes which were already used to illustrate the Kaioken
Seems pretty much a Kaioken aura, with the intensity, white-ish eyes, which matches the first time he used it:
Fierce and consistent sparks at the edge of it.
When he used it vs Vegeta, he also had the white-ish eyes. While that's not 100% consistent with Kaioken, it's one of the few instances Toriyama portrays Goku with a white pupil.
Vs Ginyu he also had those traits, the fierce aura and the white-ish pupils, tho the sparks at the edge were more spread out
And he had a very similar aura when he was in fact using the Kaioken x10 vs Freeza, only the white pupils weren't as clear
That was fighting 50% Freeza.
So I really don't see why Toriyama would illustrate the aura that way, possessing all traits a Kaioken-like Goku does and had barely shown before when not using Kaioken if he didn't intend it as Kaioken. At least it can't be given as a false information as the cues are clear enough.
Tenshinhan also specified "you mean he has been using the Kaioken 10x??" In response to Kaio, meaning that was the main intent of him introducing the Kaioken. Not that they simply forgot the technique, moreso what it can accomplish with its potential for many fold increases
