[Avodah] Did Someone Forget Eilu v'eilu?

Rambam maintains that Avraham's encounter with the three messengers was not
an

actual event. It was a prophetic vision. He also maintains the same with
Yaakov encounter with the adversary. So it is obvious that the Rambam treats
certain narratives in the Torah that seems to describe an actual event, as a
prophetic vision. This very well could apply to Bilaam and the donkey.

My question is: isn't it logical that the same poskim who banned Slifkin's
book should ban these parts of the Rambam's work?
