Several of my claimed AI-expert colleagues repeat this as though it's gospel. I've heard "set the temperature to 0 so we get consistent results" more times that I can count.

I imagine it's much like game-developers saying: "Set a fixed seed so the player gets consistent results."

Yeah, it can work, but it is subject to so many potential pitfalls that you can't casually assume it will. It's a property you have to actively design-for and rigorously test to be sure the system can deliver it for some particular scenario.
