Whether we need to create a new system that is designed to catch fraud prior to publication is a whole different question

That system already exists. It's what replication studies are for. Whether we desperately need to massively bolster the amount of replication studies done is the question, and the answer is 'yes'.

An institute for reproducibility would be awesome

Agree! Maybe efforts spent working on projects assigned from the IFR would be rewarded with grant funds or grant extensions for novel projects.
