Do you need residence card if you have ILR?

I am confused. Do you need BRP card if you have your ILR for more than a year (as an EU citizen living in UK more than 8 years).

In the document: Guide-AN_-_July_20 - Naturalisation Booklet – The Requirements

Says: If you do not have a permanent residence card

And then explains:

If you have been granted indefinite leave to enter or remain in the UK, including under the EU Settlement Scheme, and use that to support your application we will use the date you were granted ILR as the date that you became free from immigration time restrictions. If you acquired permanent residence before being granted indefinite leave to enter or remain under the EU Settlement Scheme and want to rely on the date that you acquired permanent residence for your citizenship application, you will need to have a permanent residence document.


It's all clear to me that you can apply just with your ILR, no need of BRP or residence card. However in the final step in the website, it says amongst the documents that you need:

You must have a permanent residence card before you can apply for citizenship Apply for a permanent residence card.


And links to https://www.gov.uk/permanent-residence-document-eu-eea

Then, on that same page, it says:

Your permanent residence document will not be valid after 31 December 2020. You can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK after that date.


Which points to the fact that, having the card, would be silly in barely a month so...

So, I'm confused. You need or you do not need residence card?
