This is much too negative. Peer review indeed misses issues with papers, but by-and-large catches the most glaring faults.
I don’t believe for one moment that the vast majority of papers in reputable conferences are wrong, if only for the simple reason that putting out incorrect research gives an easy layup for competing groups to write a follow-up paper that exposes the flaw.
It’s also a fallacy to state that papers aren’t reproducible without code. Yes code is important, but in most cases the core contribution of the research paper is not the code, but some set of ideas that together describe a novel way to approach the tackled problem.
