Emunas chachamim doesn’t mean, for instance, that we praise shabsai tzvi or refuse to get involved in a “machlokes” since some rabbonim praised him early on. Everyone adapted to the reality of who he was revealed to be. The Torah world saw the truth about rabbi yoshe ber, rabbi kook, and others who you mentioned but I won’t do so because it’s unnecessary….but suffice it to say, that there are rabbonim in your post whose psakim and views are not entertained by the core yeshiva world because their views came to light. I’m not saying that rabbi kook and rabbi yoshe ber were anywhere near as divergent as shabsai tzvi; i am comparing the development of the Torah world’s approach to general divergence as it comes to light.
