TTRPG Noob: Should I give up and (Re)order 5e?

I'm trying to get into ttrpgs for the first time and DM for a couple of family members. I want to play a medeival heroic fantasy and so decided to order DnD 5e. I learnt only hours later about the WotC problems (OGL, not customer friendly, One DND renamed, New edition in 2024?) and cancelled my orders for 5e (Starter Set, Phb, DMs Guide, Monsters Manual). Unfortunately, in struggling to find something that fits as well as 5e.

I looked at Pathfinder 2e and it's far too expensive where I live, unless I get PDFs. Further, I'm not sure the extra complexity appeals to me.

Dungeon Crawl Classics sounds fun, but a permanent 5% spell failure chance isn't great.

ICRPG is fantastic, but there is no linear power progression (which is fine, but i don't want that). I'm really looking for a game where any character can become an epic hero by the end.

Basic Fantasy RPG is a contender I've been looking into, but it isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I do plan to try it at some point though.

I've also researched FTD, Godbound, Exalted, and 13th age just a little bit. However, OSR goes away from what I am looking for.

So should I just give up and get DnD 5e at this point? Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
