Remember that as planned, there will be two installations running in parallel.

* Patrolled revisions, passive, on all pages

* Flagged protection, active, on a few (tens of?) thousand pages

Flagged protection is wikinews or dewiki style; edits mostly don't
show up until approved. This is the one we will need to stay on top
of, but I am confident we'll manage it - it's a small proportion of
pages, after all. The problem case here is going to be the "protected
because of sheer volume of edits" pages, where I think we'll lag
horribly for any individual edit, but get a workable result.

Patrolled revisions will be on all pages, and will let us mark the
"most recent good revision". This one doesn't matter so much if it's
backlogged, because *it's invisible*; edits show up whether or not
they've been patrolled, and it just gives us an internal monitoring
tool.
