What you are describing is exactly the problem of OOD detection in image classification. The canonical reference for that would be Dan Hendrycks et. al. 2019. In short, no. Softmax probability might not be the best indicator of confidence as deep networks are often over confident on the wrong outputs.

My bad! Here you go! (Also looks like I messed up the years, but all of these are good references)
