Yes and no.

The really BIG limiting factor is the max of 100 rep per enemy (barring double rep and crew bonuses).

Right now, a level 10 guy with a doll can get 100 rep for killing a level 18 navy guy. Does it make sense to up his danger level by taking on a level 40 Urchinfist, knowing that the thing does enough damage in one punch to kill him? All for the same measly 100 rep?

So while having someone let you rep-leech is easier, it's not really less dangerous. ESPECIALLY now that enemies will up and attack a secondary target. Additionally, the rewards aren't proportional to the danger. If it were, you'd see guys jumping multiple levels on a single kill assist.
