From the referenced document:
In Deep-sleep and Light-sleep modes, the wireless peripherals are powered down. Before entering Deep-sleep or Light-sleep modes, the application must disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth using the appropriate calls (i.e., esp_bluedroid_disable(), esp_bt_controller_disable(), esp_wifi_stop()). Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections will not be maintained in Deep-sleep or Light-sleep mode, even if these functions are not called.
There seems to be some confusion between "powered down" and "disabled".
As the first sentence says
the wireless peripherals are powered down
Just entering Light-sleep, (or Deep-sleep) will power down the radio, but good practice is to disable the interface, prior to "power down", but as the last sentence says
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections will not be maintained in Deep-sleep or Light-sleep mode, even if these functions are not called.
.
Whether you disable or not the connections won't be maintained; the radio is powered down.
The way this reads to me, and the table indicates, just entering light, or deep sleep will power down the radio.
