I would be surprised if there were non-Christian historians who viewed
the NT gospels as straightforward historical accounts of the events of
Jesus life, but then totally rejected Josephus, or the non-canonical
Gospels.

There are certainly many scholars who would question whether the
Biblical gospels are contemporary.

There are references to Jesus in editions to Josephus. There may also
be quesitons of whether Christian editors later inserted them.
