I don’t think there is any considerably advanced CMS that you can throw high traffic at and expect it to handle it without any configuration effort.
Can WP be used for high-traffic site? Of course and it is being used as such by many sites.
But it should be WP on decent hosting and well-configured software stack, rather than WP on cheap shared hosting with Apache defaults and no caching whatsoever.
