It would be better that independent studies tried to detect errors, not fraud.
Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between both but of there is a track record of fraud no reputable journal should accept more papers from that source.
Edit: As I re-read my comment I worry because research should not really depend on "prestige", it should be based on cold facts. On the other hand I don't see any other way to deal with malicious actors.

It's absurd to think there will be a way to know which studies need reproduction or not. The whole purpose of reproducing is to find out which ones are true and which are bogus
