I don’t see a problem with someone publishing 5 great papers early in their career and nothing else. I mean what were the meaningful publications from Oppenheimer in his later years? Or Einstein? Publishing should be done when it matters, not when it’s needed for a salary increase.

"nothing else" really? why would an institution pay them?

in reality, faculty do more than publish, and are also judged by service, supervision, etc.
