Did USCIS give me citizenship too early??

5 year green card anniversary is in late June.

Filed N400 in April per 90 day early filing.

A week later received notice that I could skip biometrics as the ones from my green card were still valid.

A week after that got an interview notice.

Had N400 interview yesterday (late May) and the IO sent me down the hallway for a same day oath ceremony.

I asked USCIS officer at ceremony check-in if it was ok to be getting naturalized a month ahead of the green card’s 5 year anniversary. He said “don’t worry about, give me your green card you won’t need it anymore, what you’re getting is much better”

This all happened so fast. Hard to believe. Now I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop and they reach out and say sorry we gave you your citizenship a month early we need to take it back and then I get caught up in the kind of immigration legal hell you read about on here.
 
Update for anyone in the same boat. I spoke to 3 lawyers. Each (independently) said don't worry about it, it's not an issue.
