The Wikipedia article seems largely sourced from a South Korean economist, "Many countries have successfully industrialized behind tariff barriers. [...] Despite this, infant industry protection is controversial as a policy recommendation." I'd call that mixed opinion.

PS: Side note, apparent "post-autistic economics" is a label that people self applied? Not sure on the branding on that one (they've since changed) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-autistic_economics
