The URL scheme (`ldap://` or `ldaps://`) has precedence over the parameter `use_ssl` (see https://ldap3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/server.html). This means that the parameter is superfluous if you specify a URL scheme.
However, setting it to true means that if there ever is a case where no scheme is specified, the connection will fall back to use SSL, and I believe that is a good way for things to be.
