I would most strongly recommend getting a passport/passport card.
If anything, crossing the border without one will become more difficult in the next few months.
Having a valid passport means never having to worry about rule changes - because you have the 'gold standard' document to verify your citizenship and right to enter the US.

Now, as one who has crossed at Progresso a few dozen times - if you don't have time to get a passport - drive down to the border crossing and walk over to the US Customs Border Patrol Office and talk to them. They will be the ones with final definitive word about the documents you do have and their acceptability at that location.
