Well, a huge caveat to that is that there are world class Researchers who create constantly adapting intelligent spam filters to keep spam out of inboxes. Maybe the fediverse will have something like that someday! Who knows!
I imagine a lot of it could just be ported over.
I think your underestimating how real the battle against spam still is in the email space. If you use Gmail you've got a huge company doing the work for you. If you work in IT and run a corporate mail server you'll see that we pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for anti-spam/phishing filtering.
Bot spam is totally separate and unfortunately I don't see how you'd be able to port the work over.
I'll take your word for it. That's too bad.
