"... 100% Curation Rewards and 0 Creator Rewards."

Ack!

OTOH:

"SMTs would allow us to play with some of these experiments."

I could not more eagerly await the results of some of those experiments, as I hope to see communities more highly valuing aspects of society that are far more essential than mere finance organically prospering to such an extent that many folks are shocked - and become aware that those social benefits are far more important than mere money.

Thanks for this informed and informative response!
