The best way in terms of the immigration process is to undergo medical examinations as a family. Otherwise it's really gonna be a pain in the ass. The procedure of excluding dependents from your application is not that straightforward and may have negative outcome.
Another important question is do you have children or not?

We don't have children and the actual divorce paper won't be out till late January or February. But the question becomes: if we undergo the medicals and get our passports stamps what will happen at the moment the divorce is actually out; should I report to the Embassy as the Principal Applicant and if I do so what will happen at that stage?

You can report but at that point your wife or Ex- wife might not get the PR.

Submit the divorce filing papers to your VO as proof that divorce is pending and ask that the spouse be removed from your application. Meanwhile, get your medicals done and submit within the deadline. This is the only option you have. It might delay the processing of your visa by a bit but it really is for the best. If you get the PR visa and then get divorce, your visa will no longer be valid for landing in Canada. Also, not informing VO of this important change will be considered misrepresentation. So it's best to be honest and move ahead by keeping CIC in the loop as early as possible.

What you are suggesting is misrepresenting to CIC, which is never a good idea. Excluding dependents might be tedious but is the only right thing to do here.

Not exactly, I would never suggest anything illegal. What I implied is not to divorce at all and postpone this decision. No misrepresentation in this case. But in case the decision is made and legal separation is pending, then yes, you are right, the only way is to inform CIC of this change.

Look what other forum members shared:
"A friend of mine got refused for "non compliance" because his non-accompanying daughter refused to take the medicals. She sent an affidavit stating she did not want to come to Canada, the father wrote several letters to CIC and finally got refused.
You are still married to her, your kids are your dependants and even though you live apart, you share their custody. It is not your choice to exclude them from your application. You need to prove you are legally separated to her, but as long as you are married, medicals are a must as there is always chance of reconciliation."

If divorce has not happened legally, You dont have any choice other than taking her for medicals. CIC may only act (hopefully positive) for you, once you can send all legallities of divorce occuring. You also need to be very clear and careful about the dates so as not to get messed, once you opt for new marriage.
I know someone who got PER, even resided in canada for some time but then only due to his declaration of 2nd marriage and divorce to first, could not re land to canada as PR once out of canada. You know the mess? his divorce date was later to his 2nd marriage, which was earlier.
So buddy be careful to remain fair with yourself.
