I don't think it's overrated but I do wish they would've acknowledged Uncle Ben. At least a line or something. And no I don't think that an interview with one of the producers really counts.
The MCU Spidey has hinted at Uncle Ben twice:
1. In Civil War when Stark is talking to Peter about why he's Spider-Man. Peter references something about "bad things happening" because of something he did (or didn't do).
2. In Spider-Man: Homecoming when Ned finds out about Peter's identity and Peter tells him not to tell May because of "everything she's been through this year."
Uncle Ben's name has not been said in the MCU, but he has been referenced. Right now, I'm okay with that. We didn't need another Uncle Ben dying on screen, nor did we need a sepia-toned flashback of Uncle Ben dying in Homecoming. I certainly hope he's referenced a bit more in future movies though, especially since The Amazing Spider-Man movies had Peter basically not care at all about Uncle Ben. I don't want to see Uncle Ben dying again, but I don't want him to get completely brushed off either. He's far too vital to what makes Spider-Man ... Spider-Man.
In terms of adaptations, I think that Spider-Man: Homecoming is the most accurate adaptation of a Spider-Man story in the sense that it's essentially just about Spidey (a kid who's just trying to do good, but is in way over his head) stopping a bad guy from stealing stuff (which is great, especially since every blockbuster these days seems to be about the blue laser in the sky and it's the end of the world, haha). Thematically, though, I think the Sam Raimi movies got it right.
I want some of the themes of guilt to be more present in the next MCU Spider-Man movie. Tom Holland is my favorite actor as Spider-Man to date, and Infinity War totally proved to me that he's got the acting chops for some more dramatic material to work with. If Holland can be given a movie that's on par with Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2, I would be beyond overjoyed.
Also, the more I watch Homecoming, the more I love it. I saw it in theaters twice (and during that time period, I said "I really like it"). Since owning it on Blu-Ray, though? I keep going back to it, and I'm definitely at a state of "love" with this movie now, haha. I think what prevented me from loving the movie at first is that the film started to lose me a bit when all of the high-tech stuff with the suit was starting to take center stage ... But the movie brought me back in with the ending. That's a big reason as to why I've enjoyed the film 100x more on rewatch ('cause I know he's not just going to be the MCU's "Iron Man Jr.")
