Yup. Have all of them. For inspiration and background they are great. I think OP is looking for an official WotC book updated for 5e so they don’t have to come up with their own adaptation. Everyone plays a little different. All good.
5e needs a Faiths and Avatars style book

Fanon doesn't count it's not Canon.
Finally a constructive post, and an excellent idea, some more depth into what it means to be divine spellcasters is useful, deeper spiritual mysteries and knowledge.

Why?
Not so I don't have to come up with my own, I'd enjoy that, it'd be a blast. No the function is have shared language and understanding for shared world functioning, my Fanon would ultimately be only of use to me.
Fanon is fine for your games, but Canon is the language of the shared worlds that allows for mutual understanding and boost immersion in the setting, which boosts suspension of disbelief.

But the canon already exists. Three or four times over. The lore isn’t what needs to be updated, just the mechanics. And a fan supplement works just as well for that.
True, but the mechanics can depend on what has happened since the previous editions. The lore may be there, but people want something new so embellishment (or at times complete retelling) can also work.
If you want to use previous edition lore for your campaign, of course that’s up to you. I do the same. Some people just want an official version from Mike, Chris and Jeremy for 5e. The joy of D&D is you don’t have to use it unless you want.
