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.

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.
