I understand what the quote is saying but it doesn’t actually reflect today’s reality.
The only nodes whose mempool matter for getting into a block are miners mempools. And currently there are very few pools, and therefore very few mempools that matter.
As long as the transaction can get to one of those ~15 or so mempools, via any circuitous route or directly, it will be mined.
