From the help page:

"Illustrator on the iPad is compatible on any iPad that supports Apple Pencil. For the best experience, Apple Pencil is recommended."

It's not the Apple Pencil itself that is driving the change. Apple made a change to the display/screen hardware on iPads. The Apple Pencil 2 (and Illustrator for iPad) only work on the newer iPads that have these changes.

Saying that Illustrator only works on iPads that support the Apple Pencil 2 is just a way to identify the iPads that will run Illustrator. You do not need the Apple Pencil itself to use Illustrator — you only need an iPad that has the hardware changes.
