That's why I have been working since March on a solution called mwoffliner (also using nodejs, like Parsoid): https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/other/ci/master/tree/mwoffliner/mwoffliner.j...
Mwoffliner: 1 - Download a selection of articles from the Parsoid API 2 - Rewrite the HTML code 3 - Write the ZIM file (not yet implemented, files are written on the filesystem)
Very cool! It may very well be possible to integrate this with the rendering pipeline in the first iteration, at least as a stretch goal. CCing Matt & Scott though I suspect they're already aware.
NB - we did run some numbers, and we're currently getting at most ~100 ZIM downloads/day from collections, across all wikis combined.
