Also a restart isn't required after loading.

From the mariadb documentation: «After populating the time zone tables, you should usually restart the server so that the new time zone data is correctly loaded.»

Also, some users with old server distributions may still have the mysql_tzinfo_to_sql even if they use MariaDB.

It would be 10.3 or earlier, and I guess that's still in RHEL.

Ack - I'll need to check that's still true.

I have absolutely no idea what db version can be used. If doc points to a command that does not exists, users will complains...

Maybe the better option would be to provide all related links (mysql, mariadb-old and mariadb-new) and be explicit about related versions?

I guess we should just keep that advice since that's specified on mariadb kb link provided; and they explicitely say "should", it does not seem they are sure themselves :D
