without having to worry about keeping them readable for the LW mainstream.

To me this is a good reason not to have subreddits. It seems like a recipe for divisiveness, and people already seem to be much more relaxed about voting on Discussion posts; most of them have ratings from 0-10. So topics that aren't relevant to LW mainstream already work fairly well when they're left in Discussion rather than being moved to the main site.
