I would think more likely all the drama and more is still there without a CoC or a team to enforce it, it’s just hush-hushed and allowed to fester. The world is chock full of examples of communities quietly condoning horribly toxic and outright criminal deeds and abuses, often toward less privileged people, that have continued for decades because ignoring, suppressing and silencing is easier than the alternative.

Strong disagree. The CoC, by design, creates more conflict than it resolves.
You have now painted a target on your project, every activist that finds your CoC in non-compliance now has:
1) a means to proposition your submission
2) a cudgel to bang you with should you reject #1
A far saner solution is to ban CoC and those who request a CoC. The CoC then becomes “don’t request a CoC”. Tolerance paradox in action.
Sounds like speculation. Every community needs rules, and those can be either tacit or codified. The former way is really pronlematic. Are you opposed to laws at a nation-state level as well?
