Those are "recommendations", pure guidelines, and they are not an exhaustive
list of precisely when that should be used.
The intention of that list is essentially to tell you that it's incorrect to
use the hreflang pattern if the entire contents are human translated. In other
words, they're saying that it's incorrect to use this pattern to point
rel=canonical to en.wp, hreflang=de to de.wp, hreflang=ja to ja.wp, etc...
because the content on various pages is not guaranteed to actually be the same
thing because it's written by different communities and because manual updates
can be desynced. Google does not want to send users two different pages when
one is manually translated and may be out of date.
Conversion of language scripts used by the whole content is NOT mentioned on
that page in a way to imply anything without asking directly.
