I think you're right. Here is other document from atlassiant: https://www.atlassian.com/migration/plan/upgrade-to-data-center-guide#assess

They said that you have to upgrade your apps to Data Center version. Then apply Jira Data Center license.

However, I think it'd better to upgrade to Jira instance too (if you don't use many apps).

@[deleted]if I refer to this document :

https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/migrate-from-server-to-data-center-953127136.html

I really doubt that simply upgrading a license will convert your instance to datacenter because you still have application binaries which are server based.

We should normally deploy the DataCenter binary compatible to your server binary version, but nothing is mentioning in this

What I mean by official link steps is a not a google result , which I have done already for long time by searching around
