If any of the mod_php extensions are not thread-safe, you will need to use the prefork mpm, which will indeed bloat every httpd worker. This is not the ideal nor recommended configuration.
Instead, use the event mpm and proxy_fcgi to pass the request to php-fpm. Alternatively, you can recompile php to be thread-safe and use event mpm with mod_php, which will give you a small execution speed advantage. The statement you posted is more or less FUD which leaves out very important details.
