Their Q&A essentially says you can no longer build anything that is commercial using Redis, except as a partner. That's exactly the opposite of what the SSPL License says.
"this definition would include hosting or embedding Redis as part of a solution that is sold competitively"
Sure this limits the condition to competing offerings. However in reality that's a huge stop sign. It essentially means "we'll get you" because whatever service/product you offer that somehow includes or so much as touches Redis they can always argue that you are effectively competing. That is they can always make the case that this would have been business to them if only.

I interpret this as "You can't sell Redis as a Service".
You can make any number of applications that use Redis and host the instances yourself, you just can't package Redis and sell/rent a miraculixx-branded version of it.
