Is the Ubuntu community wiki entry on RootSudo current?

Note: This has been resolved. The source isn't current for my purposes, so I'm dismissing it.

I was looking for a source about the superuser and came across this entry from the community wiki.

The entry has the following disclaimer at the top:

March 14, 2019. PLEASE NOTE: This wiki article is being significantly rewritten as it contains a good deal of old, dated, and possibly questionable material. Using caution and consulting with others on the Ubuntu Forums or Ask Ubuntu is highly recommended!

The source looks like what I was looking for. However, if it's not current, it's of no use to me.

Could anyone tell me whether this entry is current?

Most of it is OK, there are bits and parts that might be outdated (but not less safe). For example, Ubuntu stopped patching sudo's default of resetting HOME (How does sudo handle $HOME differently since 19.10?), so now:

HOME in sudo bash should be /root, and

You don't need to use -H anymore (because it's redundant).

Otherwise, very little has changed in sudo for good advice on it to change that often.
