Why should experiments wait to be submitted to some arbitrary academic body before trying to to reproduce them? This is what’s wrong with modern science, everything is academic.

The only thing valuable that academic journals and conferences bring to the table is the peer-review process. Which, to be fair, is needed.

In this case, the peer review is being conducted without the need for publishing venues. However, I don't think that is usually the case. Take a look at the countless number of ArXiv papers that lack any sort of peer review.
