They can't take the Avengers approach without make Spider-Man a supporting character in his own movie. And cutting out pretty much every other important supporting character on top of that. All so we can get six villains in one movie who will all be defeated by Spider-Man at the end. It sounds like a disaster.

If Electro is the main villain (which, I mean, yeah, he is) then they should start, you know, treating him as such. Putting him on equal footing with two villains of supposed lesser importance is not going to do that.

As for the comment about the X-Men franchise aging, that wasn't a jab at those movies. I just find it a really weird idea to reboot a franchise by connecting it to one that already has fifteen years of baggage...and ran alongside the previous franchise.
