Those are all really good points! You are right. If the curation guilds that formed were all of the caliber of Curie, I think they would be a huge success. They could be just as bad than bots though (if not worse) if users just started banding together to upvote each other's content regardless of quality.

It's not a huge deal, but I'm glad you asked. I kind of glossed over that and just buried my suggestion in the recommendation section. The part I thought was a bad idea was to only allow users to be in one guild at a time. I think it would be better for the ecosystem if users could split their voting power across multiple guilds.
