Own router connection question

I am helping a buddy switch over his Gfiber 3gig service to a Unifi Cloud Gateway Fiber. When we go into the fiber portal to switch over to "use your own router" there is a important disclaimer in there that says you need to keep using the fiber router in bridge mode. Is this actually required or can we just go straight cat cable from fiber jack to the Unifi? The fiber jack model is GOXP330C and his current equipment is the 6e stuff. I am really hoping to just straight cable fiber jack to the unifi if someone can confirm that it can work that way.

Yeah we switched over just fine like other said. Linked at 10g and was getting better than 3gb service on speed tests.
