The phrase consensus of opinion, which is not actually redundant (see sense 1a; the sense that takes the phrase is slightly older), has been so often claimed to be a redundancy that many writers avoid it. You are safe in using consensus alone when it is clear you mean consensus of opinion, and most writers in fact do so.
Synonyms
accord
agreement

Inflections of 'consensus' (n): npl: consensuses
WordReference Random House Learner's Dictionary of American English © 2024con•sen•sus /kənˈsɛnsəs/USA pronunciation
n., pl. -sus•es.
[countable* often singular] unanimous judgment or belief that a group comes to after discussion: The consensus was that they should meet twice a month.
general agreement; concord; harmony:[uncountable]You won't find consensus among the doctors on the best procedure for you.See -sens-.
WordReference Random House Unabridged Dictionary of American English © 2024con•sen•sus
(kən sen′səs),USA pronunciation n., pl. -sus•es.
majority of opinion:The consensus of the group was that they should meet twice a month.
general agreement or concord; harmony.
Latin, equivalent. to consent(īre) to be in agreement, harmony (con- con- + sentīre to feel; compare sense) + -tus suffix of verb, verbal action 1850–55
Many say that the phrase consensus of opinion is redundant and hence should be avoided:The committee's statement represented a consensus of opinion.The expression is redundant, however, only if consensus is taken in the sense "majority of opinion'' rather than in its equally valid and earlier sense "general agreement or concord.'' Criticism of consensus of opinion has been so persistent and widespread that the phrase, even though in common use, occurs only infrequently in edited formal writing. The phrase general consensus is objected to for similar reasons. Consensus is now widely used attributively, esp. in the phrase consensus politics.
Collins Concise English Dictionary © HarperCollins Publishers::
consensus /kənˈsɛnsəs/ n general or widespread agreement (esp in the phrase consensus of opinion)Etymology: 19th Century: from Latin, from consentīre to feel together, agree; see consentUSAGESince consensus refers to a collective opinion, the words of opinion in the phrase consensus of opinion are redundant and should therefore be avoided
