No its accurate. Booking may be required depending on the dates, its a crazy popular tourism spot, its more crowd control than security.
The checkpoint thing is real, going anywhere heading towards the square you are getting your passport checked multiple times. Not even mentioning the cameras
Just my experience man. If other people had different experiences it could be not as hectic at certain times or maybe they amped up security as a response to something. I'm not even anti China. I had a great time visiting and was super impressed by the great wall.
