I'll go along with that. Sonny, as well as Michael & Vito years later ... are all compelled to lament that Tom is absolutely NOT a wartime consigliere (WC).
Which does NOT in any way alter the fact that Santino was a bad Don. Could a WC have foreseen the trap and prevented Sonny's death on the Causeway? Probably. But the stalemate alone foretold the way Santino Corleone would have eventually run his Family into the ground.
