Papers get published because authors want to increase their "importance index", which is in very direct correlation with how much they will get paid and whether they'll be making a career in academia.
Having more requirements towards that end is unlikely to impact the number of papers published.
The more severe problem with published papers is mistakes often deliberately overlooked in order to publish as much and as fast as possible. Having papers being easier to verify has a chance of improving this situation... but I wouldn't hold my breath. People are very good at cutting corners.
