Possible. For Spider-Man, the premise is that he must always be a teenager who can't hold a proper job and Aunt May is always portrayed as so pathetic she'd die without him.
That's a premise we can update.
Possible? It is exactly the case, because we have been going back and forth for this long. We were talking about the Fantastic Four and earlier the X-Men, not Spider-Man. The X-Men's flawed premise has been acknowledged by the comics themselves, that's why they ditched it around 20 years ago. Spider-Man's been trying to break away from his for 30 years, and Fantastic Four itself realized it's problematic premise aspects. So why is it so wrong for adaptations to see these premise issues and want to correct them?

This all started with the discussion of the MCU not being wrong with updating outdated, flawed source material.
