Paladin subclass still looks cool, but I still don't like the idea of divine casters getting divine magic from Genies instead of Gods in the Forgotten Realms

True, but that doesn't mean you have to like it! In my games a cleric get's their power from a god and can loose it if they displease their good. I'm a bit old school in that way.
