This is exactly what we were told, mandatory only for 5.3 story. Also rather than just once after post-ARR, I believe it was after every set of credits the reminder would pop up if you hadn't completed/started.

Hmm. So as of August 11th, CT series is a mandatory part of MSQ before you can complete 2.55.
