Lets start with this then.
If your cards do NOT have a symbol similar to the WiFi signal then your card cannot be scanned using an RFID reader. So then you don't need an RFID blocker wallet. Next, IF you do have a card that can be read using an RFID skimmer, then Yes get an RFID blocking wallet. Take it from me, as a person who is currently working within cybersecurity, I am fully versed in what I could do.
Finally, if you can pay using your phone, leave the cards at home and just do that.Apple pay is way more secure than cards (RFID or not). As for the article that was linked. I can understand wanting to get third party input, but at least get it from a cybersecurity professional and not a financial advisor. I mean people here in the villages get the RFID that is used to open the gates, cloned into a chip, that they then place into the mirror of their car. Its literately the same tech. You see it, and yet think "well they couldn't do that to my credit card...."
