Time-slack isn’t rewarded with status that much, I think. Whenever someone can say “yeah, whenever’s fine” in response to somebody that can only make it for exactly 4.32 minutes every second full Moon but only in January, I rarely find that this person is awarded status, even implicitly. It’s basically taken for granted. Which reinforces your point that high-slack people don’t capture the upside that much.
And which, in turn, leads me to ask: is the status payoff enough even for a rough selection? I think not. To reliably select for high-slack people (and therefore create high-slack groups), even roughly, I think you need to explicitly require some X amount of slack (easy for time, difficult for emotions).
And, of course, to make the implicit explicit—which seems to be the point of your post.
