I'm thinking that clients should handle this npub evaluation and issue confirmation events. Relays can then determine which npubs to allow or block based on these confirmations. We can have high- or low-trust relays based on each relay's threshold for allowing an npub. New npubs would necessarily start on only a few relays before getting whitelisted to others as they have more verifiable interactions.

Onboarding becomes key here. If I'm operating a private relay and I manually whitelist my friend's new npub, that speaks well of that npub when other relays evaluate it.
