Well, that description applies to a specific ARM reference design.
And it appears that the PCIe-RC used in that reference design does not
support address translation.

The Synopsys DesignWare PCIe-RC implementation used on the RockChip
RK35xx SoCs does support address translation.  But some of the results
we're seeing suggests that this feature is subtly broken for the
RockChip implementation.

So that matches the configuration used by RockChip in their downstream
kernel and u-boot:

  https://github.com/rockchip-linux/kernel/blob/develop-5.10/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3568.dtsi#L2382

That probably means this config has received testing in the wild.

I tried this configuration on my board during my earlier experiments,
and it works.

One downside of this configuration is that it uses 32-bit IO
addresses.  Support for 32-bit IO address is not universal since the
x86 INB and OUTB instructions only support a 16-bit address space.
But if translation is indeed broken for IO in the same way as MMIO,
that might be the best you can do.
