Everyone always wants high IQ but don't lower IQ folk process quicker than higher IQ folk in similar brackets? For example, dangerous scenarios or niche scenarios where quick action serve better than slow action, if it's correct at least.
Then there's energy consumption. Obviously, higher IQ folk will consume more energy than lower IQ folk. Expenditure is a different topic. Not that this matters when we're all eating bio slop... but what if people move out and colonize other galaxies with limited resources?
Then there's nihilism. Sure, it's a dumb idea, but you have to imagine that high IQ people would simply flip a coin on whether existence is worth it or not, while low IQ people simply survive to survive.
You also gotta imagine the issues with everyone having one gradient of brain, or a shared factor among an entire population.
IQ isn't a number you just pump up in genes, it's a set of genes and alleles that all cumulate into high IQ. What happens if a bio terrorist or governmental group gets together and targets these sets with a mega disease. If everyone has those sets of genes because we all wanted designer babies, wouldn't that make everyone have the same Achilles' heel?
