I see a lot of pragmatic barriers like 140 IQ married couples deciding to mate for life and forgo working to create value, but they could probably be overcome with the right adjustments.

I think it would work in the sense that it would increase the average IQ of the population, but I suspect you’d see a lot more autistic people. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but you’d have to figure out a way to support high IQ autistic people so they can contribute to society in a way that doesn’t force them into environments incompatible with their neurotype. Otherwise you’ll just have a bunch of disabled people.
