Distributed Trunking with HPE 5130?

I am about to plan a Core Switch for a customer, who has only access switches connected to each other. I'd like to connect every core switch with two fiber connections to each of the two HPE 5130. I read somewhere, that you can only cross-connect if the switches support distributed trunking. The 5130 apparently does not support this.

This seems a little odd and if I had to guess, pretty much every full stack supports this. But before we buy the Core components I'd like to make absolutely sure that we can have the access switches cross connected on both 5130 switches

Anyone here who can tell me with absolute certainty that this will not be a problem?

Thanks a lot in advance
