Less disastrous as in "people spending less time criticizing Eliezer's moderating skills"? Probably yes.

Less disastrous as in "people spending less time on LW discussing the 'basilisk'"? Probably no. I would expect at least dozen articles about this topic within the first year if the ban would be completely removed.

Less disastrous as in "people less likely to create more 'basilisk'-style comments"? Probably no. Seems that the policy prevented this successfully.
