Passing a whiteboard interview doesn’t mean you are going to be a great fit for the job. It just means you can code.
If you don’t lie about being able to code, you’re no more likely to be fired than if you had passed a whiteboard interview.

Did anyone say to only do a whiteboard interview?

No they didn’t, but passing the white board interview doesn’t make you any less likely to be fired unless you lied about your ability to code.
I have never seen someone get fired for things that otherwise would have showed up in a whiteboard interview (at places that didn’t do them).
People actually find being fired a greater inconvenience and humiliation than a 60 minute whiteboard interview.
