The content of that link sounds fine in terms of GDPR if one only uses the EU servers. Am I missing something?

I read it differently, especially in light of Schrems II. EU-datacenters from any of the big US-based providers does not automatically make you comply either.
As I read it the issue is that the American HQ can order their European subsidiary to provide the data.
Hetzner US does not have a European subsidary and therefore cannot violate GDPR (assuming US personal can't access EU customer data).
Hetzner HQ is in Germany and is not allowed to enforce the CLOUD Act outside the US
That could also be correct.
But if I was under legal/contractual obligations, with Hetzner as my hosting provider, I would have their legal department confirm this.
Since Hetzner found the need for appending the paragraph I referenced, they must have become aware of something.
