I think you might be conflating two related-but-different arguments. There is consensus that a p-value of 0.95 is reasonable. No one is arguing against that parameter in particular. The argument is rather against the idea of statistical significance itself, because it's relatively easy to cheat if you are dishonest. Setting p to 0.01 won't change that. Finally, and this is my personal opinion, there is "consensus" for abolishing statistical significance the same way there's "consensus" that Python is the best programming language. Scientists are more or less in agreement that it could be better, but "mildly displeased scientists call for unclear improvement" is not as good a headline.
