Comment:

 I'm surprised that Wordfence article glosses over blind SQL injection,
 because that's the main reason for advocating for changing the table
 prefix (other than its intended use of supporting multiple sites in one
 database).

 That said, the general consensus is that this is security by obscurity and
 doesn't offer much real world protection.

 Thanks anyway for the suggestion @jweston!
