3.3.3 deals with both Racetrack and Reversal procedures. Your quote is dealing purely with racetrack procedures. Next you will be telling us that a racetrack must be entered from +/- 30 deg of the outbound track (also found in that part you are quoting from).!

In any procedure if you are provided with a track and a navigation aid to use when following that track then it is simple - you follow the track you are given.

Imagine that the leg you are looking at on your chart was the first leg of a SID that required a turn back overhead the beacon - would you leave the SID track to the upwind side or would you follow the track allowing for the crosswind and then do your best to intercept the inbound asap using the standard rate1/25deg bank?
