Is iTunes Match still necessary with Apple Music subscription?

Hi,

If I’m subscribed to Apple Music, is iTunes Match still necessary? I’ve received conflicting answers from other non-Apple forums but most contend if I cancel iTunes Match, I will not lose any of my music, even files I uploaded that aren’t available/streaming on Apple Music. Can anyone confirm whether this is indeed the case?


Thanks!
