Do we need to perfect sila (as in the 5 precepts) before developing satipatthana?

Meditation

I sometimes read or hear Buddhists suggesting that first one should strive to keep the 5 precepts for a sufficiently long period before contemplating the work of satipatthana.
However, this sutta shows the error in that thinking.

AN 9.63 (A iv 457)Sikkhādubbalya Sutta

— Weaknesses of the training —
[sikkhā+dubbalya]

What to do if one is not yet perfect in the five precepts.

pañc imāni, bhikkhave, sikkhā·dubbalyāni. katamāni pañca? pāṇ·ātipāto, adinn·ādānaṃ, kāmesu·micchā·cāro, musā·vādo, surā·meraya·majja·pamāda·ṭṭhānaṃ. imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañca sikkhā·dubbalyāni. These five, bhikkhus, are weaknesses of the training. Which five? The destruction of life, taking what is not given, misbehavior in sensuality, false speech, and liquors, spirits and intoxicants that cause carelessness. These five, bhikkhus, are weaknesses of the training.
imesaṃ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṃ sikkhā·dubbalyānaṃ pahānāya cattāro satipaṭṭhānā bhāvetabbā. katame cattāro? idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye kāy·ānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā vineyya loke abhijjhā·domanassaṃ; vedanāsu vedan·ānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā vineyya loke abhijjhā·domanassaṃ; citte citt·ānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā vineyya loke abhijjhā·domanassaṃ; dhammesu dhamm·ānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā vineyya loke abhijjhā·domanassaṃ. imesaṃ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṃ sikkhā·dubbalyānaṃ pahānāya ime cattāro satipaṭṭhānā bhāvetabbā ti. To abandon these five weaknesses of the training, the four satipaṭṭhānas should be developped. Which four? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu remains focusing on the body in the body, ardent, understanding thoroughly, mindful, having subdued covetousness-affliction towards the world. He remains focusing on feelings in feelings, ardent, understanding thoroughly, mindful, having subdued covetousness-affliction towards the world. He remains focusing on the mind in the mind, ardent, understanding thoroughly, mindful, having subdued covetousness-affliction towards the world. He remains focusing on dhammas in dhammas, ardent, understanding thoroughly, mindful, having subdued covetousness-affliction towards the world. To abandon these five weaknesses of the training, the four satipaṭṭhānas should be developed.

How interesting. I dont think ive heard too many people say we have to keep the 5 precepts before doing satipatthana, but certainly that they are helpful for satipatthana and other such bhavana activities. This seems to indicate that the two actually work in complement to each other if anything.

Perhaps you have started your meditation without having Sila?
Do you observe the five precepts?

Weaknesses in Training and Mindfulness Meditation
Sikkhādubbalyasutta
“Mendicants, there are these five weaknesses when you’re training.
“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, sikkhādubbalyāni.
What five?
Katamāni pañca?
Killing living creatures, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, and using alcoholic drinks that cause negligence.
Pāṇātipāto, adinnādānaṁ, kāmesumicchācāro, musāvādo, surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhānaṁ—
These are the five weaknesses when you’re training.
imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañca sikkhādubbalyāni.

To give up these five weaknesses in your training you should develop the four kinds of mindfulness meditation.
Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ sikkhādubbalyānaṁ pahānāya cattāro satipaṭṭhānā bhāvetabbā.
What four?
Katame cattāro?
It’s when a mendicant meditates by observing an aspect of the body—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ;
They meditate observing an aspect of feelings …
vedanāsu …pe…
They meditate observing an aspect of the mind …
citte …
They meditate observing an aspect of principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.
dhammesu dhammānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ.
To give up those five weaknesses in your training you should develop these four kinds of mindfulness meditation.”
