One “anti-foom” factor is the observation that in the early stages we can make progress partly by cribbing from nature—and simply copying it. After roughly “human level” is reached, that short-cut is no longer available—so progress may require more work after that.

Valid argument, but we seem to be already making some progress beyond that, by noticing human cognitive biases and trying to correct them.
