It doesn't say that linking libstdc++ statically will not work.

It says that if you want to link libstdc++ statically, you need to link all of your C++ code statically as well.

The stdc++ you statically link with and the stdc++ that the dynamically-linked libraries use when your program is run may be incompatible. If you dynamically link, then the stdc++ used in both cases will be the one and same.

Linking to libstdc++.a directly is statically linking to it. You just have to be aware of the caveats due to version incompatibility mentioned in the article.
