You likely know the answer to this already. Want to borrow some and see for yourself? If so, swing by. I am stocked with ballasts, end caps and bulbs. ...or go by and see Josh.
Growing proteins is only about half of the battle, if even that much. The other half, or more, are not even mentioned in that article. The coral also has to reflect visible light, use light and reject it at higher frequency as well as develop pigmented diatoms (non symbiotic) to reflect spectrum (some of it is UV). That article is amazing collection of academia, but I would not take it as much more than a good start that needs finished for the typical hobbyist to fully understand lighting coral. As it sits, I fear that some hobbyists will try and match the spectrum needed to grow diatoms only, which will lead to the unintended consequence of worse colors to our eyes, even if the coral is plenty happy.
