They could still suprise us and announce a Netflix series if they so wished (though now that I think about it, I would love that) there is also the chatter that the mcu spidey may not be Peter Parker. No evidence of this yet but again only time will tell
That chatter is wishful thinking based on Marvel and Sony saying that it will be a new Spider-Man and not be connected to the previous movies. Both Marvel and Sony have said however, that it's Peter Parker, further supported by them stating that they won't be making an origin story for Spider-Man, because we all know the story already.
Sure Miles Morales is pretty good, but Peter Parker is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar more popular, he's Marvel's money maker. Dimond Comics top 100 sales for January:

And Miles is as 64, with a fraction of Peter's sales, he's even beaten out by Scarlet Spiders, a limited mini series about Spider-Man clones that only exists for Spider-Verse.
In fact looking at sales numbers, Ultimate Spider-Man lost half its readership after Ultimate Peter died, and has been losing loads of readers as the series goes on.

I don't know what his role is during the upcoming Captain America film, but if the Civil War is about young heroes and responsibly using their powers, it would be to their advantage to keep the Amazing backstory.
Civil War isn't about young Heroes and using their powers responsibly, the comic was about Superheroes having a literal war because some wanted to keep their identities a secret and not work as special cops for the government, while the others did want to do that and went as far as killing those who opposed them. Spider-Man's role in that was being guilted into revealing his identity publicly by Iron Man as propaganda for the pro-registration side.
Then he switched sides when the Iron Man and co became pretty fachisty and murdery.
Actually, I can't see how Spider-Man would work in context here, the whole point behind his role in the original was that his identity was the best guarded secret back then, and that his name stood for something. Which isn't true in the MCU, he isn't as big a symbol or a name in it as of yet.
