Well, as for the canon list, yes you can remove (some aspects of) Star Trek V. Specifically, no starship (of any type, even Next Gen era) can possibly reach the center of the galaxy from earth in less than a decade (even though Sha Ka Ree was not dead center, just on the outskirts of the center mass, but still way too far)
As for the movie itself, I actually moderately appreciated it. The theme, after all, was that even though (for the most part) they do not have families of their own; Kirk, Spock and McCoy (and the rest of the command crew) are a family themselves. The whole "fake God" thing was just a secondary plot.
The rest of ST V's problems were an extremely tight budget (which was pretty much all spent on the Enterprise internals, and Paradise City set), a writer's strike (which, yes, happened back in 1988 too) among other things.
Oh, and backing up, Star Trek the Motion Picture was simply a re-written version, of what was supposed to be the premiere episode of Star Trek Phase II (a TV series that Paramount dropped, because they wanted a Sci-Fi MOVIE with their studio name, since Star Wars did so well). But, pretty much all of the proposed stories for ST: Phase II were rewritten for Next Generation, so we haven't really missed much. But, yes, so much attention to detail went into Phase II, that there was very little extra production needed on the Motion Picture
