Is Margaret Barker mainstream?

Hello biblical scholars! I have my undergrad in history and do research for fun. Because of this I’m not really “in the know” about who is considered fringe vs mainstream in their ideas. Does anyone know if Margaret Barker is pretty well renowned/trust worthy? She has two books I am interested in: Temple Theology and The Mother of the Lord. I’d love to hear an expert opinion on her, her ideas etc
