Reinstating super high top income tax brackets would largely impact a totally different set of people and would have potentially destructive effects elsewhere re: hiring, but it would not cripple tech or innovation in the same way.

At least not as quickly as a wealth tax would. But excessively high income tax rates would eventually drain risk capital from pool, and lead wealthy to rent-seek even more (and I count muni-bond income exclusion as rent seeking).
