Absolutely not, no.
There’s a case in some star wars game a few years back where the scoring was set up like friggin’ quidditch. King of the Hill style maps, red vs blue, but a “team wipe bonus” was 200 points to take out everyone on the other team.
So red would bunch up, blue wipes them out, and then blue bunches up, waits for red to come wipe them out, and everyone trades lile 200 points at a time. Completely fucked the game mode by using coordinated bullshit to maximize rewards.
You stick a pigeon in an operant chamber and they’ll find a way to jiggle the button rather than actually peck, because it leads to more food in the end.

Especially since it’s stupid easy to make money and XP in the game.
The exception is driving XP, with an insanely long payoff to a tank. But the biggest beta complaint was tank spam when it was easier to get.
There’s gonna be frequent resets and fine tuning over the two year early access, it’s wild everyone acts like this is a finished game, even tho it’s better than a lot of triple AAA recent releases that cost twice as much.
