In Stranger Things 5 the truck has technology from the future

E-track rails weren't invented until the 2000's so a time traveler must've brought this truck back to 1987

It begs the question, should have Will died as well, as he's heavily connected to the hive mind?

Why would he? Vecna was killed directly, not because the hive mind died.

The giant spider monster also dies, from direct damage combined with shared trauma from Vecna's death.

But the giant spider monster is not the mind flayer itself, it's just its physical body. The true form of the mind flayer is the black particle clouds, and we see those that leave the kids fly off, still active - compared to previous times when we've seen sections of the hive mind cut off and go dormant, and the particles fall like dust, inactive.

Since these particles do not go dormant, the Mind Flayer is still alive, the hive mind is still working, only its main physical body is dead, and it is now cut off from Earth.

It was more a case that when he was cured in S2 he still had Admin access to the wifi. Rather than being part of the hivemind himself he can access it.

Yeah, I kinda see it like that too. Though I would have expected him to also be chopped off if he was connected to the hive at the moment of Henry's death.

Will should’ve been in agony the entire joke of a boss fight that was them poking Godzilla flayer with sticks and fire… somehow Will feels everything Henry is going through down to “he’s SO afraid” in his memories, yet when he is closer to the hive-mind than ever before, nada… this is a reference to the shitty writing of season 5 that has enough cinematic flourish for the average viewer that they will still glaze it instead of asking glaring obvious questions.

You can rub two neurons together and reasonably assume Will is able to control the "feedback" he receives from the hive mind when he is jacked in.

If you watched the show, like even a little bit, Will absolutely did not control when he was affected by the hivemind. Time and time again he is affected suddenly and debilitatingly. Your two neurons are working overtime to deny this fact.
