This paper is correct that you cannot consistently set all three of ##c##, ##h##, and ##G## to 1; you have to either set ##c = G = 1## (as is done in GR), or ##c = h = 1## (as is done in QFT).
What the paper does not do is support its claim that there is a "considerable body of work in theoretical physics" that does in fact claim to set ##c = h = G = 1##, all three at the same time. I've never seen this done. None of the GR textbooks or papers I've seen set ##h = 1## (most of them don't use any equations where ##h## appears at all; the ones that do don't set it to 1). None of the QFT textbooks or papers I've seen set ##G = 1## (most of them talk explicitly about the fact that you can't set ##G = 1## in the context of QFT, you have to give it its proper units in the "natural" units of QFT, which are inverse mass squared).
