The wiki can handle it without problems, splitting on folders is done because some filesystems have problems (are slower) when a folder has lots of files.
Aretai, mind this warning. It can be *extremely slow* if you have a large number of files (several thousands, or close to a million).
I suggest you estimate how many images your wiki may accumulate for some time, say a few years, and try to create that many files on your filesystem using an automated script. Then test access time to these files.
Anyway, are you sure you need them in just one directory?
Oh, and just to add - if the whole reason for asking is due to concerns over migration or mass-imports, then there are maintenance scripts (maintenance/importImages.php, maintenance/rebuildImages.php) that can help.
