As mentioned in another comment thread: we don’t need to speculate about the effects because millions of employees already share salaries with no anonymity in thousands of groups. That is, employees of the US or state governments.
That ends up including public universities - at least here in Washington, you can look up the salary of any employee of the University of Washington:

Go ahead and find me, Spencer Nelson, or any other Software Engineer of any level you want.
What are the consequences of this? Is there vicious infighting, and sniping over raises? Uh, no. There is just simple compensation, and way less negotiation. When some job class needs a salary adjustment because the job market has changed, everyone benefits. It’s pretty great.
