My understanding is that they can only wipe the work profile. Is that not true? (Android).

In work profile mode this is absolutely correct.

In other modes (COBO, COPE) it's not but those are much more difficult to enrol, as you have to do it from the setup wizard on a new phone or after a factory reset. So you don't happen to get into this mode by accident. They're only used for company owned phones (this is what the CO part stands for).

If you're using the Android MDM thing on a personal device it only wipes the work profile.
