I think it depends on how healthy your team is. My team understands that it's not at all a rating system, it's just a bit of fun and makes people aware of how frequently (or not) that they are integrating their changes.
I am not at all worried about my team doing shitty behaviour because I don't have a shitty team.
I think this is great and hope you can keep it on like that because I somehow agree with @Clement that this might cause some troubles along the way
I know his examples are a bit extreme and that you trust your team a lot, but it's just that society (especially western society) has taught us to be overly competitive over every single thing that even when we can rationalize that it's just a fun game it can cause some fights inside the team
I don't think you have to throw away all the gamification aspect though, just maybe drop the ranking part? or make it more like you're fighting yourself? I think those things could help to prevent anything from getting out of control in the future

I do like the idea of "fighting yourself", might play around with that idea a bit.
TBH the one metric i'm actually looking at is the team score, if the team is improving at integrating changes then it's doing its job.
Maybe that could be another metric, that would make it more collaborative rather than competitive ;)
