Well said. Difficulties are what they are. Part of why things are difficult is because perfect, mechanical solutions aren't feasible. If they were, the problem would be solveable, commoditized and something else would be difficult instead. This article does a good job presenting difficulties, and they are all important areas where doing a good job is important. Eg "Or the category thing - yes, it has circular references which breaks the nice theory behind it, but what practical issues to the readers or editors does this present?" There probably isn't a good, legible solution that will "fix" this. It's an epistemological problem about knowledge itself. Wikipedia's approach is an approach. It isn't perfect because there are no perfect solutions to knowledge problems. It is however, a workable approach given the problem space. None of these need 100% solutions. They just need workable solutions.
