Not totally true...

I have the Z Speed shroud on my current (and had it on my first) 370. Removing the little panel works fine for oil changes.

Now that I am thinking about it, I think the design is a little different now and the opening is larger. Yes, I think it is true. The first one I bought and installed on my first Z worked well if the car was on a lift (and therefore level). On the ramps it made a bit of a mess due to the car being on an angle.

I bought a new shroud with my new 370 and when I changed the oil for the first time (on ramps) I only removed the little panel and I think I remember noticing that the panel was a little larger. I had no spilling or other issues.
