I think you could work around the problems with some static, some
auto-generated, and some wiki pages.

I think that using a wiki as infrastructure is OK.

The problem I see with wikis happens if you allow unfettered access to
the edit button.  You still need a good editor if you expect the pages
to contain helpful and accurate information.
