This may be worth confirming in a lab. From my understanding, this is only
true if the static route is pointing to an interface, and the network of
that interface is enabled for EIGRP. Otherwise if the static route is
pointing to an IP next hop, I believe we need to set the metric for
redistribution.
Will need to re-confirm, so I wont bet.
