I don't really see how the Reinforced solution would negatively affect people who like the trait for roleplaying purposes. If you get something you really want removed, it's much easier to chat and roleplay with a geneticist for a minute as they fix you up than a medical doctor who is getting set up for the shift. And honestly, moving the onus to the geneticists brings some very welcome attention to one of the most isolated jobs as well as a nice source of chromosomes and research.
Absolute worst case scenario you have to wait 120 seconds for the scramble cooldown and there's at least two GeneTek scanners on most maps, so you could be waiting for two minutes with radioactive if two people got there before you, but for me that's a positive. Doctors get to deal with this radioactive patient for two minutes as geneticists panic before they can fix you. All in all a much more eventful and engaging interaction than walking into Medbay, asking for mutadone, saying thank you and leaving.
And personally I don't like the blacklist/whitelist idea at all, because while very rare, those EMP/Radioactive/blood toxification moments are really funny and silly shenanigans is what you sign up for with the trait.
