I am looking for a vegan cooking class preferably in/ close to Firenze, max 5 hours. If anyone has recently attended one you would recommend, please let me know! The ones I've found so far have very few reviews.

No personal experience but this one claims that Rick Steves recommends them.

I’ve taken many classes from Chef Michele, and while I’m not vegan, he’s a professional who’s run top restaurant kitchens and cooking schools, and is now at his current position, running the restaurant and cooking classes at Riva Lofts in Firenze. He can create a class for vegan, or any other food needs/preferences. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
The Riva Lofts website includes a link about their cooking classes, but the link brings up a “404” message. We took our latest class from him at Riva a year and a half ago. Unless something’s changed, I would be very surprised that the classes are not still available. Contact Riva Lofts and you can confirm what’s available https://rivalofts.com/en/ .

Your title says “Firenze/Tuscany,” and I do have another excellent recommendation in Tuscany, but Chicca Maione is on the Tuscan coast, outside of the hilltown Castagneto Carducci, which is quite some distance from Firenze.
