My understanding is that the origin of that phrase came from "some engineers have 10x the output of the worst engineers" not the average engineer. Then it became a phrase to let people on social media self-identify as alpha-males while preening for their viewers.
You want to hire a diligent engineer who can problem solve and manage work-life balance to provide you years of value. And unlike a unicorn, these people exist.

Lots of folks like that out there, but it's not always easy to identify them in the interview stage and often they're only that much better than the median in certain contexts.
