I would suppose that the danger of such a "Dragon Country" scenario emerging could be determined by the "haircut" being required for repo operations.

It's not a problem with repo operations. It's a problem with banks accepting shit collateral against their loans. You don't solve that problem by prohibiting repo operations, you solve that problem by making the banks stop accepting shit collateral against loans.
