If a community is so small that the mod team can be so inactive, there's no incentive for the company to put any effort into spamming it like you're suggesting.
And if they do end up getting a shit ton of spam in there, and it sits around for a bit until a moderator checks in, so what? They'll just clean it up and keep going.
I'm not sure why people are so worried about this. It's been possible for bad actors to overrun small communities with automated junk for a very long time, across many different platforms, some that predate Reddit. It just gets cleaned up and things keep going.
It's not like if they get some AI produced garbage into your community, it infects it like a virus that cannot be expelled.
