I disagree that any of those secret chems you listed, Drago, are so destructive that they need to stay secret for balancing reasons; none of those are any more powerful than non secret things you can do in similar time or faster.
For fuck's sake, TTVs aren't even a hard secret anymore (not published, but I've never seen anyone struggle to find someone to teach them how they're made) and you can instantly blow away the entire shuttle with one. how can initropidil compare when you can make 7 TTVs in as many minutes?
If it leads to a rise in grief, ban the people who grief. We have admins for a reason.
I think there are decent arguments to be made for secret chems. I don't think balance is one of them because, as I said earlier, Botany Unleashed proved that the community has a tendency to overestimate the actual power of things
To add, I also think that the dynamic of how secrets are developed would radically shift in response to this change. I think we'd end up getting more secret content developed, and to mbc's point on the discord, I agree that it'd likely end up feeling a lot more like a community effort to discover the secrets as a group, allowing for some pretty fun events and content to be built around that expectation.
