(Ulmo = Ulu, Guiar, Gulma; Aule = Óli, Ôl; Yavanna = Ivon, Ivann; Mandos = Bannos; Lorien = Lúrin, Glurim; Este = Idh; Tulkas = Tulcus; Vaire = Gwîr; Nessa = Neth) In addition, we have stated that Orome told the Elves his given Valarin name of Aromez, which they simply changed to Orome /Araw. Should these other names be included? or should this passage be edited some other way at least to reflect their existence and the origin of the name of Orome?

This isn't wrong or contradictory. The footnote is specifically referring to which Valar the Sindar knew and what names they used for them
prior to the return of the Noldor, and confirms that the Exiles adopted the Sindarin names that were already in use in Beleriand when speaking, but retained the Quenya names for the rest. Whatever names the Sindar came up with for the other Valar is not relevant to the point being made in this footnote.
