It seems to me that the overlap between "community capable of using downvote-to-obscurity systems responsibly" and "communities with any genuine need for a downvote-to-obscurity system in the first place" is likely to be extremely small. Downvote-to-obscurity systems don't directly cause groupthink, but they certainly facilitate its development.
