Are people really disputing whether or not accurate beliefs about the world are adaptive?
That seems a likely area of dispute. Having accurate beliefs seems, ceteris paribus, to be better for you than inaccurate beliefs (though I can make up as many counterexamples as you’d like). But that still leaves open the question of whether it’s better than no beliefs at all.
