My theory is that this is the beauty of the afterlife system devised by Thalurzni: you don't have to be particularly good to get the benefits, you just have to follow the rules and avoid being bad.

Well that's the flipside of the system. There's a Sky culture under the draconic stuff in Kralorela. I'd say the solar heaven is a lot tougher to get to, but once you succeed you get there right away. All in all, you win some, you loose some.
