I can't see the overlap myself.
I'd love to update my description to either clarify lack of overlap to your
satisfaction, or to detail a case where one is a superset, or where there are
subsets of different mechanisms which do the same thing.
Maybe my post belongs in the ACME Wiki.

Format re-use might imply some common code, sure, but that's not important to
the decision as to whether doing X implies you don't need to do Y.

Did you read to the end, where I postulated a scenario that uses all 4+RFC8823?
