No matter, this will continue to affect the community so it will always be an issue that is worth opening the discussion about. So far my suggestions seem viable, effective. They have put up a wall so far, it's hard to dismiss that because of the numerous views that it has and the lack of discussion about it. If there is something wrong, nobody has been able to point it out so far, what is clear is that my suggestion should have focused more on the downvoting issue.
That's not hard to implement: revoke voting all together for people reaching below a certain reputation, so anybody with less than 35 or 40 reputation has no say over rewards, done. What's the drawbacks? One possibility is the new users that have no option to vote will think it not fair. A solution would be to inform them that in order to have a say over rewards or curation and they need to gain influence through creating content or commenting to be granted that privilege.
Difficult=time and effort, considering that both time and effort can be mitigated among those more capable and with better equipment/tools and working together it will be mostly effortless.
If more people would join this conversation, instead of sitting on the sidelines, and give their suggestions or point out the problems with it both time and effort will be mitigated among many minds with many ideas and perspectives, and not simply me alone.

It's not that hard to implement like you say - just like its not difficult to get that polar bear back to its real home. A striking image.
