In practice, do "member-only" lists like https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-css-wg/ exclude invited experts? This paragraph should probably align with whatever existing practice is. I won't take a stand on what it should be.

A while ago we changed things so all Invied Experts get W3C Member access, which solved that problem.

That was my guess, but it means that the mailing list isn't "W3C-Member-confidential". "Participant-confidential" isn't exact either, and listing both is probably too wordy. Maybe just "confidential"?

The use of "member-only" later in the sentence remains ambiguous. Perhaps there, "participant-only" would be correct since it doesn't say that general W3C members couldn't read the discussions that only participants participated in. I don't feel strongly about this; feel free to write whatever makes the most sense now that you've seen the issue.
