It's understandable that feeling because it's a clean slate through shabby means.

The only "hope" I can let you in on is when Archie SOnic comics first started out, Sega had mandates back then as well which Archie comics worked it's way around. Eventually (around a decade or so) Sega were like "F' it you know what you're doing, just have Sonic be awesome." which is why family and more fleshed out stories were introduced.

So I'm hoping over time Sega will be leniant on it's mandates in a few years, at least a decade. The Post-SGW started off with history based heavily on the games and already Archie comics is introducing new characters and side stories (such as drama with the Egg Army bosses) Sally has a new mum (who "vanished", but not confirmed deceased.) and even though Jules and Bernedette are erased, perhaps Uncle Chuck will be confirmed as Sonic's biological uncle and legal guardian. If Sega doesn't want to give Sonic parents or siblings, at least give him Chuck as his Uncle.

Perhaps the story can be Sonic lived on South Island until Sonic lost his family during Dr. Eggmans raid on the island for resources (SSD#12 Sonic Comic Origins: The Traitor) and was told to find his uncle Chuck in Mobotropolis. Sonic decided to go after stopping Dr. Eggman's scheme throughout the first two games.
