Are all the information in The Silmarillion reliable? Does it ever accour differences, between C. Tolkien's works and the sources we know are by J.R.R. Tolkien himself?

In which degree can i trust the characters in Middle-earth to be right?

And if this differences or unreliabilitys accour, are they important enough for me, who have neither read Unfinished Tales or anything in the HoMe series?
