Yes, this is now the received view. If you read stuff from the 1920s, relativity was considered a disastrous anomaly that urgently needed philosophical repair. That persisted in popular understanding into the 1970s even. More on that downthread.
Considered such by whom? Seriously. I've read a lot on the physics side and I don't get that feeling. Are you saying this was the feeling in the humanities and philosophy department? If so, I suspect that was driven as much by the war.
For example all that Euclid worship, that ended among people who know what they are talking about in the mid-1800s. Klein is 19th C work, not 20th C. Likewise Hilbert's Grundlagen der Geometrie. Hence my point that this seems to me PUNDIT reaction, not scientist reaction.
