Paper is banned, which is why the player characters mostly don't have access to it in Phantasmal Malevolence. But #1763 specifically says that paper was banned after “Thousands of years ago ancient Jedi texts were recorded on paper”. In The Last Jedi movie, these books are such ancient Jedi texts, so paper was not yet banned when these were created. That might be the case here too, since the GM describes the books as “ancient relics”. #1763 also says that “corrupted by the paper-making process the midi-chlorians in the trees were”. It's not clear from this whether that corruption can be undone once the paper is made, so maybe it can't, in which case preserving existing paper doesn't do harm, only creating new paper does. So it kind of makes sense that Luke guards these artifacts on Ach-To. Meanwhile,
#2216 in Forced-Away Kin shows that the First Order is using paper again for technical documentation.
