Possibly not *directly*, but the one I have running at the moment on my Bolt Ace (because of story considerations more-so than anything else) has the potential of causing a failed save at a crucial point or truly dampening a social encounter.
The boon itself doesn't cause a loss of character.
Failing the save on something or failing to hit something, etc because of the negative condition (the one I'm using is the Ghoul boon) could, though?

Well, I was wondering about the corruption three strikes rule. But that doesn't seem to be active.

Yeah, that wouldn't be fun in PFS. It's a different mechanic in the same theme as the corruptions.

I suspect that given how much alignment, paladins, and other things erupt into open-ended and lengthy discussion, the decision to modify the impact of corruption so as to make it playable and prevent one GM from giving a 'pass' to their players and another having someone fall to corruption in the first encounter at a table (or as close to it as the mechanics would allow).

They were at GenCon as lottery boons and for the "delve" I think they called it. I have a few of them, but to be honest, I likely will never use them, I'm rather unimpressed.
The Corruption boons from Gencon aren't the same as the corruption rules from Horror Adventures. The boons at Gencon featured a drawback like receiving one fewer HP per die of healing, a trio of tasks the PC must undertake to remove said boon, and a benefit for completing said tasks. There was one for being corrupted by ghouls, devils, and one or two other types of bad guys.
