Wikipedia says yes, so it must be true!

I think you have confused:

1 - physical PCIe hot-plug features with the ability for an OS to recognize new PCIe added via hot-plug.

2 - the ability of an OS to swap an existing device binding to the new hardware.


"Hot-plug" does not mean "auto-replace" or "no boot required for swap".
