Does Homer's use of weirdo deities at all times undermine the fundamental historicity of the actual Greco-Trojan conflict?

Does the absurd retelling that Achilles was invincible on all but a spot on his heel mean that Achilles didn't exist? Or that Troy itself didn't exist?

Obviously, no. I don't think the principle is any different.
