That's not the choice; there are other, more effective ways to produce quality code; they are well known and well tested. I would expect that Linux loses more quality code, from contributors who have better things to do than deal with unprofessional behavior, than it gains.

The evidence doesn't bear that out. I would expect more contributions from experienced developers who don't care about the words used in kernel mailing list discussions.
