Not true - I'm not sure about mecanum, but you can definitely friction pin other robots with omnis, we did it all the time in 2014.
Personally I'm a fan of active mechanisms to get out of T-bones. Using our offseason edition of our H-drive in 2014 we never got stuck in a pin unless it was against the wall. However, a hexagon is another way to achieve the same goal. If your team feels it's worth pursuing, go ahead and do it - speaking from experience, it really is an awful feeling to not even be able to control the movement of your robot just because someone's pushing you around.
