Overconfidence is a reasonable thing to worry about. This in particular, that finding people with soul makes you safe, does seem likely to be too strong a claim. It certainly greatly helps your odds, versus the alternative. But yes, it does seem plausible that some passionate people surviving could be compatible with remarkably high maze levels, especially if those people provide good out-facing looks or are willing to do absurd levels of grunt work for low pay as a result of their passions.
One key is that this asks about the people you work for, not the people you work with. That’s an important distinction. Mazes are fine with object-level workers having passion, and even prefer it, since they’ll work harder and more reliably for less pay, and complain less, and so on.
