There are flaws in the article. There are no clearly decisive primary
sources. I must have missed the Rabbeinu Yonah, but the Rabbeinu Taku is
certainly not unambiguous.
I must note a personal peeve: To present an overview of attitudes
towards Aggadata without presenting the Maharal and the schools of
thought that derive from him such as Reb Tzadok, is malpractice!

Some Rishonim [pg. 116 of link] held to the Literal interpretations of Aggada, including R. Yosef ben Todros, and possibly R. Yonah; to not believe this they held, is to degrade the Torah.
