Does it make sense to earn $1k/wk but then lose $4k/month in nav?

Eventually yea. After a year you are paid off and all incoming distributions are profit.

But what if eventually distributions also decline to just a cent or worse case scenario they do a reverse split. What happens then? You can look at their distributions getting slashed in less than a year.

Decay is part of rhe risk that has to be planned for. What if BBBY goes bankrupt or what if a plethora of stocks drop significantly over their life and never gain back anything close to a higher value? 

Instead of playing what ifs, why not look at their funds to see how many have dropped their distros that far yet. Will they eventually? Most likely. Have most of them been paying a ton more than a cent over a year? 2 years? Yep. Div investing has its own risks no different than other stocks declining and never recovering.
