Any border checkpoint is "official", so what those people said was wrong.
By default, your husband only needs to show his passport and Article 10 card, so although you should definitely bring the other documents in case they question your relationship, don't present them all upfront to avoid paper clutter.
So in essence, you'll be fine.

I was denied boarding the eurostar in Brussel midi even though am holding an article 10 residence permit.
the officer asked relationship proof and we showed our Belgian legal cohabition certificate. the officer said that's not recognise for British. so he denied boarding even if it was only one day travel. my girlfriend is polish and I am from ivory coast Africa. we are living together in Belgium for 3 years.

A follow up to my question
We travelled at the end of February via Eurostar from Paris to London without a problem.
The border agent said that we "were really supposed to have a Family Permit" and we politely replied that given my husband's Article 10 residence card, he no longer needed a Family Permit. The border agent then asked me if I worked and lived in France and if we were married. I responded yes and she stamped my husband's passport for entrance into the UK. We were not asked to show any documents.
Hope this information is useful to anyone wishing to travel with an Article 10 residence card.
