At the end of the day, the only old WW1 warships worth updating are the RN 13.5in battlecruisers. Extending the guns range by increasing elevation to 30 degree, new machinery to increase the power and better deck armour/protection against torpedo's to better protect against air attack. Do this and you will have a useful naval weapon of war.
Side armour is of little importance assuming you have the minimum needed.
I'd like to have kept HMS Canada. Her 14" guns had a greater punch. Not that those same guns in IJN hands were able to penetrate modern US battleship armour.At the end of the day, the only old WW1 warships worth updating are the RN 13.5in battlecruisers.

She was too slow. An updated BC would be able to support most of the more modern carrier, and modern BB fleets, if only with AA support.I'd like to have kept HMS Canada. Her 14" guns had a greater punch. Not that those same guns in IJN hands were able to penetrate modern US battleship armour.
Go the Cavour route, where through removing the middle turret and replacing the machinery the class went from 31,000 shp and 21.5 knots to 75,000 shp and 27 knots. So, keep HMS Canada, remove Q turret, replace machinery and we'll get a 8x14" battleship capable to keep up with the KGVs.She was too slow.

What can we do to improve the hitting power of the 13.5 inch? Elevation increases, of course. But can we get a super-heavy Green Boy or the like? Could they bored out to 14 inch to take the KGV class shells?If you can get around the treaties keeping and upgrading the Tiger might have been better and cheaper.
