Maintain speed at V2. Use sufficient rudder to hold ..
Not at all irrelevant. However, the words relate to "normal" OEI technique. In routine operations, for most aircraft, we are not often down near/at Vmca.
Once you are somewhat above Vmca there is no need to apply the bank .. it is a specific near/at Vmca thing ... and only because the "real" Vmca is VERY bank dependent. For routine OEI, the preferred bank is around 2-3 degrees to get rid of sideslip .. however, for a small performance penalty, it is a lot easier and generally recommended to fly wings level.
If you search for sideslip and Concorde, you will see a snazzy little sideslip gauge used for OEI on Concorde.
