I don't think it's a big deal to sanitize a few remarks for modern readers (so long as it's stated clearly on the cover). I'd rather have those books be read than have people shy away from them over tiny remarks here and there.
Parents nowadays have gone totally nuts though. Some are letting their kids watch Squid Games or whatever mature thing they want, and others are going off the rails over a reference to periods in Turning Red.
None of the Roald Dahl books are fresh on my mind right now, but from what I remember, I would rather my own kids read the originals. Still, it's what some people want, and it doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
