I solved that part of floats with float: left and width: 100% instead of clear: both. Is this acceptable for that?

My solution was

invited-list {

float: left; width: 100%; }

While this might cause similar positioning, it's not quite the same because here, the invited list becomes a floated element itself. But in the video example it uses "clear" to position itself away from the floats and is a normal element itself.

The risk is that future design changes might have unexpected side-effects, and for that reason the more conventional technique of clearing the float is probably a better choice.
