I believe Gautam over at Opera may have some viewport stats he can share with the list. He'll be emailing that pretty soon I think.
I feel a compromise with a labeled "Add to Watchlist" button at the bottom of the article on low-JS devices (freeing up the menubar at the top), but keeping the star at the top on higher-JS devices (and hiding the "Add to Watchlist" button at the bottom), is one way to strike a balance between discoverability and usability in light of what seems to be pretty low practical usage of the feature on the low-JS devices.

I would remove page actions for non-JS users if watchstar proves to be hardly ever used.
Personally I'm quite disturbed by the idea of further reducing discoverability of editing/non-passive usage. I don't know about the specific case, but remember not to trade the (visibility of the) *essence* of the wiki for a few pixels saved.
I understand this argument, however, on small feature phones with Opera Mini, the initial page view consists only of page header and a watchstar button. None of the article content fits without scrolling.
