I think the question is probably would something closer to chaos be more effective that the current general system? If so, than this is probably promising.
This is the same stupid argument people used to justify voting for Trump when when there was demonstrably no substantive reason to support doing so. Is it recursive, are we supposed to cheer for chaos all the way downstream with his appointees and then the problems they cause and so on?
You're drawing an inflammatory connection that I'm going to try my best to dodge. It's true in general that systems can become ossified in such a way that they aren't working but can't be changed without breaking things and causing chaos. It's also true that sometimes the system is perfectly fine and doesn't need to be broken - but I don't think many researchers had that opinion of the grant process before ChatGPT.

It can even more easily lead to a situation where only bad actors get ahead, without any chance or uncertainty.
