Can voluntarily reader-funded blogs and web serials replace traditional publishing? Maybe with more flexible funding and discovery platforms?

Sometimes you don't pay the expert directly. Sometimes they're funded indirectly, kinda like NPR or the BBC. The relative lack of attention seeking from endowed producers can be refreshing.
Do you think the incentives of NPR/BBC/etc. are better than the incentives of direct consumers? Or that their incentives are worse, but they have access to better filters?

I don't know if better/worse is the right frame. The outcome of an incentivized behavior depends a lot on the person, but they are better curated, which implies better filters. Building & maintaining a good filter set is hard.

What difference in outcomes from incentives and outcomes from curation are you pointing at, here? I agree that "better" is fraught, but insofar as it's fraught for incentives it's also fraught for curation
