Let's say someone only draws portraits and gets very good at it. I've seen a lot of them on Instagram or progress pictures on imgur. If they were an expert on portraits but didn't really practice anything else, would they be completely shit at everything else? Like a beginner?

No, you learn quite a bit from painting portraits, it's one of the most demanding study subjects, if not the most
You wouldn't be fantastic with other subjects but it shouldn't be hard to learn

The other post is incorrect assuming portraits are all done from reference. Which they usually are
Though they would be able to draw anything from reference.

depends. If they really study face values and color schemes well, they will be able to transfer it to other subjects. But I really doubt that it will give them much if they started doing full character concepts or landscape drawings. Theres just so many other aspects than making a pretty face.
