The reason to feed the starter on whole wheat is to have 100% whole
wheat bread. If you feed the starter on white flour, your bread won't
be 100% whole wheat.

If you just want a nice bread and aren't concerned about whether or not
it is 100% whole wheat, then using a white flour fed starter is just
fine. It may, in fact, produce a better bread than the 100% whole wheat
recipe. But I have found there are many people who are more concerned
about whether or not their bread is 100% whole wheat than if it actually
a good bread.
