I've seen far too much malice feigning stupidity to ever take this concept seriously. There's a lot of stupidity, but there's also a lot of corruption parading around as stupidity.

Fundamentally I would argue that this conflates malice and greed. They may be bedfellows, but aren’t necessarily the same thing.

Regardless, this still wouldn’t break Hanlon’s Razor because when you have enough information to adequately explain corruption so devious that it has been intentionally dressed as stupidity, it is rarely explained adequately with mere stupidity.

I think that not all things can be sufficiently explained by stupidity no matter how intenslt people attempt to feign it.

Also, malice is inherently stupid.
