1. That's very easy to fix...you just add praise/rewards for superogatory goodness to punishments for underperformance. Of course, everything works like that already.

2. Needing elements of deontology isn't exclusive of needing elements of consequentialism etc. Rule consequentialism is an example of a combined approach. Likewise, arguments for consequentialism aren't per se arguments.agaisnt deontology. The arguments for deontology stand up in their own right. Deontology ensures that the bare minimum actually happens, enhances coordination, and creates clarity about when punishments will descend.
