I think that definition enjoys consensus support
I am not disagreeing with what you wrote above. There is, for
example, the following in the RFC: "Consensus is when everyone is
sufficiently satisfied with the chosen solution, such that they no
longer have specific objections to it". The RFC also mentions
allowing some dissent as "rough consensus". For what it is worth,
the last informative reference is about "sense of the meeting".
