I think it's okay, as this was a movie for entertainment rather than a documentary.

i think the line is sufficiently blurred since it is based on real people and events. there's a certain level of social contract that comes with this.

I don't think there is such a social contract. As far as I can tell, the only two things Bohemian Rhapsody got right was a) Freddie Mercury was gay, and b) Queen played at Live Aid. One of the villains in the Titanic movie in real life was a hero.
