At first glance, the idea of a maximum wage seems rather petty, almost driven by resentment--after all, how is it wrong for someone to be paid however much their employer is willing to pay?
However I personally favor a maximum wage as a way to remedy social harm. Rather than one-size-fits-all "maximum wage", I think different occupations should be capped differently. Marketing, for example, should have a relatively lower cap than more socially beneficial lines of work. The reason being that higher salaries or wages tends to attract higher quality minds (in this case, creativity). By lowering the incentive for these types of fields, their quality minds would be diverted to more lucrative careers. This would also product the price of products.

And obviously it’d have to include bonuses, portfolio pay, ect. And harsh penalties for evasion.

We'd just make all the workers at the bottom freelancers! It's what companies like Uber are doing anyway.

I generally agree, but what would no corporate personhood change?

CEOs would be forced to pay up-front damages caused by fraud, instead of shifting it to an institution like a corporation. "The company" would have no legal privileges in that way. Bernie Madoff and his ilk would at least not have been fully immune from accusations of fraud.

We better figure out this minimum wage stuff before jumping to another idea.
