I would say a form of shadowbanning is already here, I've seen it on amethyst (no idea if other clients do this).

Mentioned in this thread here:

In the form of adopted blocklists. Content is hidden as 'spam' if someone (apparently it seems to be 5+ people's, but it may also be popular accounts) in the your network reports/blocks or reports spam, even if it is not spam. It assumes you will also want to not see the content.

I think it's as close to being a blocklist as possible without it being a blocklist, it is within networks of follows, but if huge follower accounts block people, it is essentially the same thing maybe?
