I think something like this would probably be good to exist if it were done right (with “done right” doing some nontrivial work in the sentence). One problem is that once you get to doing something this elaborate, people will probably have strong and different opinions about what “right” looks like.
(i.e. right now, there’s a sense in which it doesn’t matter that much if there’s a community schism, people can still just keep hanging out with whoever, but if groups are more formalized and require a lot of investment to keep running at these standards, a schism would be more damaging).
There’s also the fact that rationalists are selected for being averse to this sort of thing. See the amount of pushback Duncan is getting for a very small opt-in experiment. I imagine the thing you’re describing being less extreme than Dragon Army barracks, but also being much more comprehensive)
