Yes that's correct. For proper operation, the mobileconfig profile needs
to embed the client (p12) cert along with all other Wi-Fi settings (such
as the CA cert).

Since 802.1x-config.org does not want your private information (such as
the private key to the client cert), it's not possible to deliver a good
profile.

If done right, that's correct. Note that 802.1x-config.org does support
EAP_TLS for Linux, and it pushes all the knobs so that the resulting
config /is/ correct.
