INT can be valuable if you are Wizard or subclass that needs it. I know that also Rogue in DND5 have one subclass that needs at least ok/good INT so can not be dump for that subclass. Well then there is Eldritch Knight perhaps for RP reasons and fairly good subclass.
However wrong saying INT is needed for all spell casting. In DND 5 both Wisdom and Charisma affect some classes spellcasting ability so I would still rank INT as most favored stat to dump in DND 5. It was not so that INT sucks in DnD 3.5 and I guess Pathfinder that is developed from DND 3.5 where INT affect the amount of skill points you get etc.
Wisdom you could dump, but that is dangerous because so many spells require Wisdom save so Wisdom say 8 sounds bad unless extreme buypoint system like BG3 27 points and you need to get some stat up but 10 at least on Wisdom sounds wise. At full release I hope they have one can rolls stats and then I will roll stats up to KINGDOM COME high but even when rolling INT will likely be my number one dump stat.
In modern real life INT is not something you want to dumb because much Office work careers benefit from INT, but of course a sport athlete or construction worker hard labor does not need good INT in real life. However DND 5 Forgotten Realms reminds more of early medieval times in technology.
