Quantum Reed-Muller Codes

The page on Quantum Reed-Muller codes codes/quantum/qubits/rm/quantum_reed_muller.yml claims that

Additionally, CSS codes formed from binary Reed-Muller codes achieve channel capacity on erasure channels [2].

This cites a result about classical Reed-Muller codes on classical erasure channels. I'm not sure how this could follow in a straightforward way from this paper. It's worth noting that the capacity of the quantum erasure channel isn't even positive for erasure fraction greater than 1/3
