Maybe tempting children with marshmallows is a bad proxy for testing delayed gratification, but the thesis about being able to delay gratification leading to success seems to be true as far as I can tell. Anecdotally, all the people I know who can't delay gratification are just scraping by (this includes another SWE who earns a decent amount but is rather impulsive). All those I know who can delay it are doing great.
