Given a performance-oriented culture, what do we do about the primadonnas? The booster perspective says that we need to encourage and support our heroes so people should "take one for the team" when dealing with misbehaving performers.

While the Richard Rhodes view is that boosterism / tolerance creates monsters.

From an organization perspective, the problem is that since high performers can always leave and go to a competitor, there is an incentive to tolerate the excesses as the primary performance benefits accrue to the organization. Has #metoo altered the shared rules of the commons enough that the performer's threat of switching has been rendered moot because the performer will be 'damaged goods' and unable to perform anywhere?

Of course, it's not only negative behaviors that these cultures tolerate. The other side of the coin is that performance-oriented cultures are more permissive and tolerant of behavior in general because the ability to perform dominates all other concerns. Put pointedly, any of these cultures is a nuclear furnace of behaviors; increasing the total output will result in more negative behaviors, and conversely, reducing the negative will at least temporarily reduce the total output.

What is the responsibly maximalist view on managing these reactors?

inter alia, this is a boon for free-lance Zoomers and corporate minimalists, in that it reduces the willingness of people to a) physically meet co-workers, and b) risk exposure to power dynamics.
