This. All my "security" questions, where they are free form and not selected from a drop-down, are nonsense strings generated by a password manager.
The ones that have choices restricted to a drop-down, I don't have to answer truthfully because the pw manager remembers for me (I keep track in the "notes" field)
The rest of the advice I didn't quote is also on point.

I would say yes, but still less of a concern overall compared with not using one.
