Well, sorta no, actually the opposite. This whole thread started from how a nearly-official, super-fast card exceeding the camera's specs didn't work, whether defective or some other reason. Meantime I've noted that the camera is extremely forgiving with surprisingly slow cards at the UHS-I Class U3 level.
Somewhere in the middle, between paying the maximum amount for the best option in the universe, and slumming it, is just to get a modest spread of anecdotally as well as officially diagnosed compatible cards, but also always having a backup plan within arm's reach. Waiting for some "official list" will only slightly protect you against loss.
Bear in mind, the absolute only card that the prior Pocket could officially use, was the most costly on the market (Extreme Pro, pre-UHS-I). Then we all figured out which other ones worked, and made stuff.
