Not at first but I would like to see Miles come into the MCU......but without the death of Peter (I'm opposed to copying such big moments from the comics rather than using them as nods/inspirations.....such as Raimi's Spider-Man showing the nod to Gwen Stacy's death by throwing MJ from the bridge as opposed to ASM2 just killing Gwen off in much the same manner as the comics).
Rather than copying the spider bite of his Ultimate origin kind of like to see Miles be the second owner of the bio-suit (i.e. what Eddie uses to become Venom) after his uncle steals it following Eddie's defeat in a previous film. This theft could have been a component of Norman Osborn or another villain creating a Sinister Six style team to take Peter out (taking inspiration from the Marvel Knights arc where Peter was constantly bombarded by foes being directed by Norman). It would also allow Miles to work alongside Peter against such a great threat similar to how they came to trust and work together in the Spider-Men mini-series.
Previous to that, however, I would like to see a nod to Miles right off the bat by altering the MCU Spider-Man suit to use the traditional red and blue with black web lines and white eye lenses in the style of Miles' more streamlined suit from the Ultimate universe. Think that would be a cool change to the traditional suit given the design (regardless of color scheme) has clearly worked and it also would follow, in the Miles origin story noted above, that both Peter and Miles would not want to see Miles wear the bio-suit in the same style as Eddie did as Venom and so Miles copies Peter's own suit but goes with the black and red scheme.
Having Miles wear the suit rather than be augmented genetically would also get rid of non-comic readers confusion (or the need for the film to explain itself) on why Miles has abilities like camouflage and the venom blast/sting (which seems appropriate given he'd be wearing the Venom suit....never understood why they went with that name for him and Spider-Woman's ability when it could have just been a generic spider sting or something) when Peter doesn't. That's because they're aspects of the suit rather than other aspects of being a spider totem or the spider that bit him being slightly different or anything like that. Having the suit would also get rid of the need for Miles to use web-shooters (though hopefully even a new film Venom would just use tendrils in the same manner as web-swinging rather than creating its own webbing) and that he could fight like Peter without a spider-sense because the suit has no true eyes so he "sees"/detects his entire environment.
That may be too dramatic a change for the character to be viable for the MCU but I'd rather see his origin change enough to be different from Peter's so that he's not simply a copy but a hero who came about from a different path. Plus later films can use the fact he's wearing a suit rather than being enhanced genetically to play with the idea of if he'd be a hero without the suit or struggling with maintaining his own personality the longer he wears the suit.
