If tasks are really "typically epics", there's an existing project with
an unused workboard: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/epic/

Is there a good enough reason to not use that workboard (plus keeping
epics that are way too "epic" in the Backlog column)?

How many Roadmap items will *not* be epics?

Having another project "Roadmap" with >50% of its tasks being already
part of the "Epic" project sounds like potential duplication.
Plus keeping track of epics might be one of Wikimedia's problems and I
don't think that currently anyone regularly looks at the list of open
"Epic" tasks anyway. I'm happy to be proven wrong.
