As far as I know (and I'm not 100 % sure), no. You don't even need to inform users that you use functional cookies. Most likely because these work for the person using your website, not against them (persisting the session, settings, and so on).
I looked it up; you are right. Strictly necessary cookies do not need consent.
Those banners that include necessary cookies are all misdirection so they can make the whole more confusing.
Like how sites want you to believe ads are now worthless if they are not targeted and being fed all of your private data. Untargeted ads used to remunerate them just fine before that was an option.
