ShB had the clash between Zodiark and Hydaelyn as the primary cause of the Sundering, EW had Venat's philosophical reasons for the Sundering, and Tales of the Dawn mentions both.
I still don't think that's adding anything new to the table. We knew since Shadowbringers that Hydaelyn was created by a faction philosophically opposed to Zodiark.
