I wonder if the lack of an accurate follower count has been part of Nostr's adoption problem? Some people are really into follower counts, especially probably influencers and celebs who would have big follower counts.
Rather than an arbitrary minimum to be counted, how about in the grey area where it could be a real user with the follow, count it as a fractional follow. This might require some statistics counted with manual classification, but you could develop a weight curve where each follower is counted as the probability that someone of their WoT score is a real person.
WoT on Amethyst is based on the Trusted Assertions NIP, which allows you to choose your own WoT provider and use any equation you desire to compute the scores. The scores are personalized to your user and activity on Nostr. You can even self-host your own instance to create the scores in any way you see fit.
