Are we still need storage, power when adding user?

Why installation guides provide
#useradd -m -g users -G wheel,storage,power -s /bin/bash username yet?

I read wiki which says power is unused groups now and
storage is pre-systemd thing.

I'm very confusing now. Will I face critical issues if I go with
#useradd -m -g users -G wheel -s /bin/bash username?

Is there any problem with my command? or tutorials just providing old versions?

Unless they are the Arch Wiki, they are outdated and as you notice, likely wrong. This is precisely an example of why third party guides are not supported.

So yes, as always ignore advice from third party tutorials and no there's no issue with your command, since that is what the wiki recommends.

I think it's recommended to follow wiki.

There is only one installation guide and it says no such thing.
