It feels like a lot of the time secret chems get talked up to be way more then they actually are. I think part of the problem is in them being secret people don't see them often at all. I don't think I can recall a time recently or other that I've actually seen weaponized Raj, and even though I've seen some of the others you listed it's very few times and usually by the same person/people. Once they become more common and people understand them better the mysticism behind it all will fall away.
I guess my point is once its no longer super secret and can openly be discussed I don't think grief will rise, I've said it before but a lot of the nastier ones take a good bit of work and time. I would compare it to black powder. Not so secret but pretty damn destructive and deadly. But due to it being more involved in making and taking some time you hardly ever seen it used for grief and see it more for end of round party favors or used by actual antags.
I'm not saying lets post all the secrets on the wiki with only a spoiler tag between Greg Griefy and QGP. But progressively we should be moving towards making it less and less unknown how these chems work and how they come about being made, and I think adding the 2016 chems that are unchanged but "secret" on is a great start.
