Everyone I've seen discussing it treats it as possible. The "conspiracy theory" part comes in when people claim or speak as if it's proven when it absolutely is not. There is no smoking gun evidence for it, but it can't be ruled out either.
That in itself is kind of scary though. It means a lab leak could happen silently and we may never correctly attribute it.
