Is this in-bounds because the Aruch Hashulchan indeed does say this

Or

Is this out-of-bounds since Tur, SA, Rema and AFAIK the majority of
posqim require Tzeis - And therefore this would be a kind of "poreish
min hatzibbur"? >>

My experience is that there is a difference between Israel and US.
In the US a taanis usually ends about the same time as shabbat is out
while in Israel it is considerably earlier
