The analysis

The retrieved papers include several dedicated technical and feasibility studies on utilizing the solar gravitational lens (SGL) for direct, high-resolution multipixel imaging and spectroscopy of nearby exoplanets. Papers [3], [6], [7], and [8] specifically establish that such an interstellar telescope mission is scientifically viable using current or near-future technologies, overcoming challenges like solar corona noise and image deconvolution. Therefore, the claim is supported.
