It is also in my interest to skip spotting bugs during code review so I can look like a genius when I fix them when they cause issues in production. Of course I don't do that because this is incredibly stupid and I have better ways to spend my time.

10x pay is significant. Personally, I would remediate asap even with $1500/hour on the line. I do have ethical standards.
But would I be as motivated to stop the root cause of the recurring issues that keeps giving me an extra $3k every shift? Well, I probably would, but my coworkers already need to be goaded into fixing root causes, and they're not getting paid extra!
In general, I think conflicts of interest must be handled carefully, and ideally avoided. Paying 10x wages when incidents happen is a clear conflict of interest.
