Can’t say whether it should or shouldn’t be in there, but it is.
I have had LCAs and other pilots who have done it as per the reference I quoted, and insisted I do it that way too. Also done it as the one-call method you describe, and either way, we never fell out of the sky. A lot of people call for speed mode before getting to V2+10-15 as well, some actually wait until they attain that speed (it’s a short pause, not too long after GEAR UP) and again, we took off just fine.
If you take off with the heading bug on runway heading (as per the company), not sure how you’d get 20-30° off runway heading?

For at least the past 2 years it's been taught/checked as the rest of the book says... V2 + 10-15 speed mode/lateral mode in basically one call. It's really helped cut down on v1 cut failures because people are no longer flying the 20-30 degree off runway heading due to TO/TO snapshot until calling for hdg mode at 400 ft 😂😂
