I agree this might be one of possible scenarios.
And then there are those more realistic scenarios in which 2 civs get wiped out, 2 are hostile/guarded with impossible demands, and 3 remain friendly... for some time.
If you're playing any game type other than domination he's quoting the most likely scenario. In general so long as you don't do anything to upset anyone on deity level you won't be perceived a threat and left mostly alone. Except of course by those going for domination victories which may be 1/4 of your opponents. Although if you're playing to keep up RAs you'll most likely be selling resources, so it's not too hard to keep everyone on your side.
So yes the construction of the Porcelian Tower in invaluable to any game type other than Domination. This will severely limit the varying strategies for early play, for those people that have been working on and perfecting early play strategies on deity this is a serious blow. You've now got two options, rush to the Porcelian Tower or try to rush the military tree... Doesn't sound like an awful lot of fun to me.
