I know the Jedi Council no longer existed and all but just seems weird that if training has to start really young that Luke was trained at all.
Traditionally, Jedi were trained at a young age.

If you notice, in Empire, Yoda actually says that Luke is too old.

Also, in the Episode 7-9 era, a lot of people are trained at an older age due primarily to necessity, so Lucas probably never envisioned it as a hard-and-fast rule. Not that he's the best guy to go to for rigid standards.

No real plot conflict here.

Not to mention Obi-Wan's defiance of the Jedi council in the first place.
