You don't value and promote a single or even a handful of archetypes. You value and promote a healthy diversity of approaches. Not just diversity amongst individuals but also between institutions. If MIT, Harvard, Stanford all had meaningfully different research philosophies, it wouldn't be quite so obvious how to game the system.
If the NIH gave some grants like they already do, some grants that would target someone like Karikó, some grants that would target reproducibility experts, etc. (in addition to some that may be a combination of such criteria) it would be a much more complicated political game to try to be an ideal imposter. You'd still have some but I think there would be many more filtered out, and more true positives kept.
