Brilliantly informative post. The only thing I would add is that the current 5G in the UK is not mmWave, and while a lot of it is on a higher frequency than Three's 3G was on (around 3.5GHz instead of 2.1GHz), some networks (I'm thinking EE specifically) also have 5G on around 700MHz. I'm not sure if Three currently have any 5G on 700MHz, but they certainly have 4G in that frequency band, which should be better at penetrating buildings than their 3G ever was. In fact, all of Three's 4G coverage is at the same frequency or a lower frequency than their 3G was.
