There are a lot of people filing this year who are actually getting their cases reviewed and approved within a few months (unlike those of us who filed back in 2020/2021/2022 😅).
At the end of the day, you can choose to ignore USCIS guidance and potentially annoy whomever looks at your case, or you can follow USCIS guidance. Personally, I'd follow their guidance - they're just going to take your file apart anyway, and it'll end up messy on their desk.
