The only time this has been argued is in the context of a solomance run with him, which isn't unreasonable.

You cut out half of the sentence in that quote:

I see little to be gained by arguing whether Halsin should be poly or not because he is a wood elf,

I meant that he could be poly/non-monogamous regardless of whether he is a wood-elf or not. I find framing it as a defining feature because of his race, and not his personality, experiences and nature as very narrow and I was making the point that there is a lot of variation within races and cultures in Faerűn.

It happens to fit that he is also a wood-elf, I just don't think it should discourage someone from exploring making a polyamorous character that is not a wood-elf or making a wood-elf that is monogamous. I am just saying, don't read too much into canon that you fail to see the possibilities and dimensions of a character outside that framework. Halsin's story is his own, not a story about wood elves.
