Some sort of federation has already been discussed in the Wikimedia universe [1]. It aims to operate at a lower level, federating structured data between different specialized wikibases [2]. AFAIK it has not (yet?) seen much development and/or traction.
ActivityPub style federation opens up some interesting technical possibilities for exchanging data but if the main motivation is to "fix" the consensus/moderation processes of Wikipedia one should start with outlining how that would work.
