The most vocal FO I've ever seen (even during COVID when colleagues were careful with job security) didn't seem to have his command curtailed in any way. And most of those who know him well were very surprised that this was the case, as he was quite outspoken (if that's the right word?) about a lot of relatively minor things. I guess he was up to the job and rightly got his place.
However, I think you're right that many FOs won't want to stick their head above the parapet approaching command. But this is the case in every airline I've worked for. The job market is good for pilots at the moment, so there's nothing to stop anyone seeing if the grass really is greener on the other side.
