IMHO PG still states that written and spoken language are different. I think the lesson to be drawn from the essay is simple: be honest.

Don't try to trick your readers by trying to use fancy words and then fail.

Brutal honesty written in an understandable manner has a real weight not to be underestimated.

You don't need to write like you're talking to a child at all, but you shouldn't reach out for words and expressions just because they sound fancier.

This may be my personal opinion, but I have no stomach for literature that is written with dishonest intentions.
