What do you mean by "prebiotic reproduction"? Self-replicating naked 
RNA? An autocatalytic set containing informational polymers?

In either case, these are disallowed if the tar paradox is unresolved. 
And it appears to not only be unresolved, but largely unacknowledged.

Your statement "The important thing is that it's happening in many 
places", is a vague, unsupported assertion, not an argument.
