No, whether or not Jesus ate the Pasover Lamb, is only an assumption if
we disbelieve the Biblical account of His sinless perfection. For those
of us who do believe in the Biblical account of His sinless perfection,
then the fact that He fulfilled the requirement of eating the Passover
lamb is not an assumption, it is a given certainty.

Once you part company with the doctrine of His sinless perfection, then
a whole host of certainties will naturally become mere assumptions.
This is one of them.
