That’s not the case for broadband phase noise or for close in jitter. The issue with the older AC parts is the crummy lead frame pinout. Setting them up so they did not oscillate was not as easy as it should have been. More modern single gate packages no long have those issues. There is always an … except … If you do a “feedback resistor” bias, forget about any sort of fast gate. Bias it with two resistors on the input and it should be fine. If the second resistor blows your budget then yes, it’s a issue.
