The current version of the "Modern configuration" includes the MAC schemes
Those MAC schemes use SSH's classic Encrypt-and-MAC methodology, which is well known to have cryptographic flaws (e.g., see this paper by Bellare et.al or https://moxie.org/2011/12/13/the-cryptographic-doom-principle.html).
Usage of those algorithms is also flagged by ssh-audit:
I would therefore suggest to remove the algorithms mentioned from the recommendation.
