First of all, there are the odds of the children ever meeting each other. They're not very high. The odds of them forming a relationship and having kids are even lower. And with only one parent in common, I am pretty certain the genetic effects would be miniscule.
Finally, limiting the number of children a single sperm donor can provide is sensible. Making some kind of organization to keep track of those children to make sure no accident incest occurs is not.

It's this cool new term I just came up with. It means "myself and other people."

Yet, if they didn't know they were siblings then they wouldn't be bound by the incest taboo.

Yes, but the taboo has a rationale behind it.

I was just making the point that the incest taboo is a societal construct. Thus...
