Great idea but I wouldn't bother. With the retconning you could see chunks of your project get removed from the lore.
My advice is just to compile and bullet point the existing lore. See what D2 lore, compile that and wait till we get some news about the direction about where they are going with the Darkness and other stuff. Then you start and at that point you'll have it laid out neatly already.
Considering the importance of the Darkness and how it plays into the lore, I'd hold off. It sucks, Is like to see a nice lore guide, but I don't want you wasting time getting deep into stuff that might not stay canon.

What retconning? Assumptions, assumptions..

They said it themselves. They didn't know what the main antagonist was. Shelving story arcs. That's why they said D2 is about the Light, the Traveler, our Ghost, us and what it means to be chosen by a higher power. They don't want to touch the Darkness while they sort out what it is. Oh and zero issue? Retcon.
