You are absolutely right that the early phase of logistic growth is practically indistinguishable from exponential growth. As to what extent this observation is useful when applied to the current situation, I don't know – I am a mathematician, not an epidemiologist. But as a rough guide to aid understanding, I think it probably has some merit.
