This looks like something which might bootstrap using web-of-trust, but really will end up relying on proven reputation, with web-of-trust for filtering out those trying to build fake reputation attestations.

Yep, we're already doing that with GrapeRank in the #catallax demo client:
But it's a circular cold-start problem... until there are robust reputation networks, nobody will use a decentralized labor market, and until there is a flourishing market, the WoT won't build beyond "who follows who".
In the end-zone, a robust WoT would do WAY more than follows/spam/bots. It's "which npubs say which other npubs are good at performing task X", and other rich attestations that can be gleaned from Other Stuff apps like catallax, https://attestr.app, marketplaces, restaurant review apps, etc.
