Not true at all. Nuendo has been far more reliable here running my template with my external slaves routed back in via the instrument inputs than running video in post projects. I have only a few VSTis loaded locally in my templates. Midi tracks take no time to load.
The only problem with the template concept I've ever encountered is exporting a standard midi file of a template - Nuendo requries a ridiculous amount of time to export an SMF, if it doesn't lock up. Track archiving of 100 audio tracks is faster than an SMF export of 50 midi tracks. Makes no sense.

It adds to the memory, it slows down the project, it increases the load times, it taxes the system, etc .... So it's better to only use what you need and then import any additional sets.

Perhaps you are thinking the template idea implies loading all samples/VSTis in Nuendo locally, but that isn't the case for many of us that use a slave PC/Mac system.
Having *all* styles/synths/samples available on demand isn't necessarily practical, but getting as close to that as possible to what you need for a given film, game, or show definitely speeds up the workflow and creativity. Sometimes, that's a very simple setup, and other times it's much more complex.
I just did a mix of orchestral and jazz band ensemble for a show and had to switch back and forth between setups - the problem came when I needed to merge the two styles and had to mix and match templates - that was time consuming. Mixing orchestral with other styles is quite common and that increases the size of the default template.
