What in iTunes Match is not redundant is now that Apple Music is Available?

Thank you, That is a useful link.

The most valuable iTunes Match feature:

With iTunes Match, all of the songs that we matched or uploaded using iTunes on your Mac or PC during your iTunes Match subscription can be downloaded DRM-free (if matched) or in their uploaded form and are yours to keep. These songs can continue to play after your iTunes Match subscription ends.

I will do this before my iTunes Match subscription expires. After that it looks like iTune Match is redundant. I don't see any additional services it provides.

I hope I can easily select and issue download commands for my iTune matched tunes.

On the other hand, Apple Music lets me and my family and friends listen to the entire iTunes library for free (a huge benefit). It also provides expert music recommendations.

So once I have used iTunes Match to strip DRM from my purchased library, I will no longer nee it.

Do you agree?

Agreed.
