I agree with your goal of getting more high quality publications but it's not at all clear to me that bonding would effectively lead to that.
I think it's more likely that it would reward incremental studies that don't question the "scientific consensus" and so don't risk getting sued.
Not to mention that it would be a major publishing expense, which are already infamously high and just ends up being financed by grant giving organizations which was instead meant to go towards research.
