The purpose of using markdown is to make editing simple. The purpose of using git is to use a well-known and rock-solid history-preserving file store. Both of those purposes are orthogonal to method of delivery and tech stack used. So no. In general, i agree that static site generation is preferable to dynamic rendering where possible, because it makes for a much simpler and more secure deployment. But a wiki has to support editing of pages in the browser, and authentication of users before they can edit, and you need a backend for that. Also, if you want to support browsing of page history, a static site generator would need to render every version of the page upfront, which feels like a bad idea to me.
