I read this:
… and stopped thinking about changing ntfs-3g to ntfs3.
That archlinux post is from last year, is that advice given there still valid?
It’s not about NTFS3 in your fstab, per se. It’s about installing Linux to a root partition formatted as NTFS.
I don’t get why that was even written up? A prank?

Yes, it is still unsafe to use NTFS as the root filesystem for your GNU/Linux distribution — which is what that article is about — and will always be, because NTFS is not a POSIX-compliant filesystem.
