Incentivized & structured client decentralization?

Hello,

I am catching up on the most recent catherders call and conversation about client failure came up around 16:00 and goes on for 4 minutes.

There are a lot of questions and proposals embedded here, but most naively, can we modulate staking rewards to maintain client (and general configuration) diversity? The tokenomics here are ultimately complex, but clients eg validators can be rewarded differentially based on parameters based on software, hardware, cloud providers, etc.

Does an EIP like this exist anyhwere? I have not seen this.

More broadly, I think there are opportunities for more marginal agile development and deployment. For example, you could deploy an alpha production net separate from the main chain, which would feature higher rewards and more risk. Stakeholders willing to make lower-value transactions at more risk for more reward can proactively test new assets in real-world environments.

That is an aside, however - can anyone direct me to any documentation on incentivized client diversity?
