Gotta disagree. Boxing here is about as well controlled as you can possibly hope for, which is to say people are not ballsy enough to just roll into blackburrow soloing on a monk\shaman duo, because it's totally obvious that it's boxing. Most boxing that goes on here is probably tunnel mules and people quickly porting\rezzing themselves. They can't stop every boxer doing this or else playing on\managing the server would be a massive headache for all involved, but I almost never see people clearly powerleveling themselves or duoing with themselves in a dungeon which you see constantly on live and on other emus.

This isn't really correct. There is absolutely plenty of boxing on both servers. You may not notice it because you just haven't run into it...there are plenty of PLing duos they just don't roll into the super popular dungeons (ironically, since Blackburrow is empty it's a place I've seen plenty of boxers). If you XP in the out of the way zones (or semi out of the way) you will notice them (for example, several weeks back I saw someone killing guards in Butcher Block with a level 29 Enchanter sitting there periodically casting Clarity on them whenever the buff ran out...hmmmm). And it's not that the GMs don't care or don't try to stop it, it's just that it's very difficult to catch when you're dealing with unpaid volunteers who have real life obligations. You have to hope that someone is online right when you petition the people for boxing (or that they stay boxing for a long time). When I was CSR on live for example we'd occasionally be asked to crack down on boxing if it got too rampant and was causing arguable zone disruptions, and it was always difficult to catch unless we were online when the petition came in. One thing that could make it easier is to ping a couple GMs directly on Discord, I'm assuming if they're free they'd jump on quickly and check.

I'm not sure how the box check would even go? If the other person who they think is you is literally at work and won't be home for 7 hours, do they just assume guilt or do they give you a chance to do the box test 7 hours later when the person is back home? Again never heard of raid guild bots getting popped for it but maybe it's happened.

Not sure what you mean by how would the box check go. If they show up to box check you and the other person is AFK they will usually just ban you (unless the person gets back very quickly and you pass the boxing test). Also not sure why you're referencing raid bots...they don't get popped for it because if they're being PLed then they're not boxing...any large raiding guild that is spending time leveling bots is absolutely not going to risk boxing them if they have any sense because not only could that lead to both accounts being banned but it could also lead to penalties for the guild.
