So I guess Debian went the most moderate route. Which... Obviously I would have preferred something more forceful but the more I think about it the more I'm wondering if maybe this is ok. Provided the community does it's due diligence.

From my reading of proposal E, is basically "use whatever tools you want but we're not relaxing our standard for it"
It's entirely possible that slop will quickly get rejected and its authors distrusted.

Unfortunately, it also means there's unlikely to be enough weight and momentum (resources) to sustain (yet) a truly genAI free fork.
