I think you have the opposite opinion of most of the researchers I know. They go nuts that you can't do anything really out of the box until you have tenure. We agree on replication though. No one cares until there's a crisis, then the Karl Popper quotes never stop.

You are allowed to be as out of the box as you like, but you have to generate results which if very hard to do if you take risks.
Even once you have tenure you are still forced to still play it safe since if you don’t generate the results you don’t get grants and if you don’t bring in the money your university will find ways to get rid of you. Welcome to your new lab - yes we know it was the old broom closet, but you must understand that since you don’t have any grants right now we need to give your lab to research x who has just brought in a $3 million grant.
