Yes, they do. Unlocking a dangerous power like ACoC definitely contributes to how big of a threat you are, specially as it's seen in top tiers only for most parts.
Scarring Kaido for life is an accomplishment worth rewarding in itself- and if Law was rewarded 500m for fighting vs Doffy only to drop out mid-way and doing fuck all after as Luffy wins, Zoro should be, too.
But of course, everything else he did was ignored lol
