Not actually. Basically use-package's argument is the package name that
we usually see in the `M-x package-list-packages'. The `:ensure t'
option is to make sure that the package is installed if it is not
already installed. `:init' is executed before loading and `:config' is
executed after loading of the package. So ideally this should work:
(use-package ebdb
:ensure t ; this will make sure ebdb is installed
:config ; this will be executed after ebdb is loaded
(require 'ebdb-gnus)
(require 'ebdb-message))
But this increases load time. Hence the startup hook. So I would rather
use this when `use-package' will be part of core emacs:
(use-package ebdb
:ensure t
:config
(use-package 'ebdb-gnus ; no `:ensure t' here, installed with ebdb
:hook emacs-startup)
(use-package 'ebdb-message
:hook emacs-startup))

explained above.

actually when we use `:hook' in use-package it implies `:defer t'. This
saves some startup time.
Without `use-package', my setup is working perfectly fine. But
eventually, people will report this bug.
(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook
(lambda ()
(progn
(defvar ebdb-mua-pop-up nil)
(require 'ebdb-gnus)
(require 'ebdb-message))))
BTW your snippet is also giving same error,
;; Error (use-package): Failed to parse package 'ebdb-gnus: Wrong type
argument: symbolp, 'ebdb-gnus Disable showing Disable logging
;; Error (use-package): Failed to parse package 'ebdb-message: Wrong type
argument: symbolp, 'ebdb-message Disable showing Disable logging
