Using ionic cordova build android --prod --release . Do we still need to remove console plugin

I have read in the most of the forum topic that you need to run
remove cordova-plugin-console to remove console logs or use uglifyJS while developing a prod build

What I couldnt get from any of the posts was if we use below command to do the prod build
ionic cordova build android --prod --release

Do we still need to remove cordova plugin, as Uglify js has run with above command
