Science is a self-correcting mechanism. If I try to base my research on a paper that I can't replicate, I'd drop it and base the research on something else. So the reproducibility problem is not lethal.
One usually doesn't try to replicate all the research on which one bases ones paper. Even papers that fail at replication get cited widely.
It is, because if publishing results that are not reproducible becomes acceptable, the incentives become all wrong.
