I think there would be more contributions. For instance, StarSlateCodex seems to get more engagement by discussing the Taboo topics. Its widely believed that many LWers left here but visit those types of sites. Could LW fully explore rationality without the those topics? Probably - but it would be dry and boring.
I think that the reddit code base (LW's) would be a better platform for the rationality community then a bunch of random unconnected websites. I had proposed an egalitarian software solution which I think would allow the Taboo topics to be discussed without forcing them on anyone.
Its playing with fire. Scott/Yvain felt it necessary to encourage the departure of most of his NRx posters. My anecdata suggests that quite low numbers of contrarians (~3%) can get a blog labelled Nasty Racist Sexist Hangout.
