And do you think Goodhart's Law, as presented in the post, applies here? That is, we should expect that eventually people (through gaming the system) end up with high karma without that in fact reliably correlating with being valued members of the community?

Only if people care about having high karma. It's probably fairly easy to game karma by making multiple accounts and voting yourself up, but why bother?
