Yes, I think this is worth drafting for CapX or pitching elsewhere (but CapX looks to have a decent readership, and it seems most important to have something published somewhere quickly that looks professional and can be easily shared).
I’d be very conservative about the “growth-focused/risk-focused interventions” part (would not mention AI risk at all, for example). I think the important thing for people to take away is “this problem is hard, here are people who treat it as such, come read their stuff”, and moving away from “here are good, concrete ways to spend money” seems like it could detract from that. (But I do like e.g. bringing up the tiny budget of the Biological Weapons Convention, and other things that are easier to understand.)
If you draft a piece, I’ll gladly read over it and help you flesh out any sections you’re unsure about, as soon as I can — if that would help. I’m not free to write an entire article myself now, but I want to do what I can to increase the likelihood of something being written.

Thanks, this all sounds reasonable!
