Yes.

Though it can be a list of such RCPTs, given aliasing that
results in a single message delivered from a single SMTP
session (after deduplication during delivery).

I agree that Envelope-To: and Delivered-To: are different.

I'm not convinced that this document is the right place
for either.  I guess there's a benefit in writing down the
definitions somewhere; the cost is "only" cruft that
obscures the minimum requirements for implementing an MTA.
