> If you require independent reproduction for every paper in a field where that's even possible, that's going to mean either you need to double the rate of running experiments in that field (unlikely), or double the number of researchers in that field (also unlikely)
You don't have to quite double the number of researchers or experiments. It typically takes less work to replicate final results than all of the work getting to the point of good results. Presumably a lot of the replication would be outsourced to CROs.
Though since the CROs would be focused on replication of results alone, any theoretical errors or errors in experiment design wouldn't be discovered. Replicating results will mostly catch fabricators. It won't catch nearly all of the far more important to the replication crisis bad experimental design.
