The Rambam famously paskens:

?? ????? ?? ??? ?????? ????? ??? ???? ????? ??????? ?? ????? ??? ?? ??? ?? ??? ???? ?? ????? ???? ???? ??? ???? ??? ????? ???? ???? ?? ????? ???. ??? ????? ?????? ????? ???? ????? ???. ???? ????? ?? ????? ????? ???? ??? ???? ?? ?????. ???? ??? ????? ?? ???? ???? ?????? ??? ??? ????? ????? ???. ???? ??? ????? ???? ?? ?????? ???? ?? ?????? ??? ???? ???? ??? ????? ???? ????? ?????? ???. ???? ??? ?? ???? ????? ?? ??????

Many later authorities discuss this psak. The Kesef Mishnah discussses it at lenth. It’s brought up in Shulchan Aruch YD 246 by the Rema and discussed by the commentaries there. The Biur Halacha in siman 231 discusses it etc. etc.

They all either bring dissenting views against the Rambam or argue that the Rambam would agree nowadays (or they accept the psak). None of them mention the Rambam’s famous psak that “one may choose to dedicate his life to learning Torah and rely on Hashem for his parnosa.” which would seemingly be very relevant to the issue they are discussing.
