However, that sentence disappeared in n3047.pdf, dated 2022-08-04. Can
anyone tell me why it was removed? With it gone, I'm not sure it is
still considered an incomplete type.

It seems to have been moved to N3047 6.2.5(25): "[...] A structure or
union type of unknown content (as described in 6.7.2.3) is an incomplete
type. [...]" (see here:
