I think you underestimate what can be accomplished with human level agi. Human level agi could mean 1 million Von Neumann level intelligences cranking 24/7 on humanity's problems.
The biggest problem that humanity has from the perspective of the people with the capital necessary to deploy this is 'How to consolidate more wealth and power into their hands.'

One million Von Neumanns working on that 'problem' is not something I'm looking forward to.

Only if there are no hardware limits, which seems highly unlikely.

Or cranking on super intelligence. What’s the minimum coefficient of human intelligence necessary to boot strap to infinity?

Yeah, I think you're probably right after further consideration and trying some new models today.
