This is not true at all. Warriors were generally the most optimal tank but druids can tank just about every raid in classic, especially if you're speed running farm content and you have very geared DPS. Druids have much higher single target TPS than warriors.
Also, paladins were excellent off tanks for fights with a lot of small adds or for dungeons. They have the highest AE threat. There are multiple encounters where anywhere from 2 to 8 tanks are needed so having off tanks available is very important in classic.
No idea I haven't played retail in years.
