The “right answer” also depends on attack vector. If you are trying to protect against nation-state-level tampering or data leaks for two full generations, the enemy moves much quicker, and so you will need to advance much more quickly, to outpace what you think they might do to outpace you in the future.

If you are only trying to prevent your ISP from seeing your traffic, which they are not trying particularly hard to do, then that level of protection would be overkill.

It's supposed to protect my users' data for two full generations, but the advice is only good for 3 years?

Which piece of advice is no longer good since the last version of the blog post was published 6 years ago?
