I have heard that ridge vents only work well if there are wide

On houses with narrow soffits, box vents are recommended.

Any truth to this?

I'd ask why?

Seems to make no sense to me.

Sounds like he's saying you need larger intake vents regardless and he
likes box vents. Maybe that's all he knows how to install?

Weird

It's a given that I need more intake.

There are currently no soffit vents now, just 3 gable end vents and 4
box vents (there's 2 sections of roof)

The estimate includes:

SOFFIT VENTS
Install ten (10), 6" x 16" size, in client selected color screened
soffit vents in overhangs.

ROOF VENTS
Install six (6) Lomanco Model 750 aluminum slant back box vents in roof
just below ridge line of roof in color selected by client.

(That would be 4 on the big section of roof and 2 on the smaller section)
