These don't reproduce in that way though. They require existing skin cells that they then corrall into balls akin to themselves. Even if grey goo was a serious existential risk (it isn't because the classic doomsday scenario ignores energy density and heat dissipation as factors), this is not really talking about the same mechanism.
