They certainly don’t agree. There has been 30+ years of objection to p < .05. The fact that many scientists are statistically illiterate doesn’t constitute consensus.

They pretty much agree that statistics is the tool to use, but disagree on the (important) details.

Scientists (should) never really "agree", they just concede temporarily preparing their next attack. statistic tests are the de facto standard that everyone concedes to, and has not been replaced.
