[QUESTION] Can AOF refer to RDB file created by RDB mechanism ?

Hello,
The official document discourages using AOF alone for backup & restore.
The document says one of benefits of using both RDB and AOF mechanisms is faster restarts.
However, AOF with aof-preamble is already creating & using rdb file as AOF base, so I think using AOF alone can make the same effect of using RDB mechanism.
So my question is, when both RDB and AOF are enabled, can AOF restore based on the latest rdb file of dump.rdb
created by RDB mechanism or appendonly.aof.*.base.rdb
created by AOF mechanism ?
For example, AOF rewrites happened 3 hours ago, so base.rdb
file is created at that time, and RDB replaced dump.rdb
file 5 minutes ago. Then what I can expect when restarting is dumping 5-min aged dump.rdb
file to the memory and executing commands in incr.aof
file from the moment dump.rdb
is written ?
If that's not the case, I don't think using both RDB and AOF at the same time adds any benefits.
