I'm a returning player that's new to 5th edition, but I have played AD&D and 3.5e. I've read the core material for 5th. I'm wondering if it's against the class / sub-class make up to use these spells.

There is nothing in the rules that prevents it
Whether its "okay" is an ethical and moral decision for each table/player - the rules leave those up to you.

If it's on your spell list you can cast it
Unlike previous editions, 5e has no alignment restrictions on spells or classes. If you wanted to you could play a Life Domain cleric who solely focused on casting Inflict Wounds.
From a roleplaying perspective you may choose to avoid spells that don't align with your character. However there are no rules that force you to do so.
