I wouldn't feel optimistic about a code of conduct that didn't represent our current consensus. We have a few rules here and there in GNOME (see the release process, for instance). They grew gradually out of consensus - that's why we very rarely need to enforce them. But just because something is already agreed, it doesn't mean it's not useful to state it and advertise it. It reinforces what we already have, and gives us more of it. So, yes, a little rhetoric is good sometimes. The objections I see so far to this are - It wouldn't change anything or - It's not necessary. However, there's no shortage of people saying both that - Some improvement in behaviour is necessary and - This is a possible way to achieve that. I haven't heard any downside even from people who don't agree with either of those points.
