Moving them next to the section-title would obviously have an effect, as they're more in-our-face!
The best data we have on the section edit link is, IIRC, the original A/B test from a few years ago, summarized at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Section_edit_modification#Technical...
Personally, I think this was a flawed test and the results are skewed. Adding an icon *absolutely* skews the results. I’d be more apt to pay attention to this if it had been tested without the pencil icon.
I also think that having the location of the affordance be variable based upon the length of the section title is a bad experience.
