I'm not even Christian what would I care about depictions or inspiration being "problematically Pagan".

What I can say is that it's unlikely that much of the parallels (like the Osiris thing) existed before Rome became Christian as over in staunchly monotheist Palestine people wouldn't have taken inspiration like that, while turning multiple gods into one sounds quite reasonable for a people going from polytheism to monotheism.

For modern Christian, I think, the question is "How much did the Romans change". That is, how different was early, pre-Roman, Christianity to what's now considered authoritative, like the Bible, which wasn't brought down from a mountain by Jesus.
