I'm thinking about using MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage for all languages. Would you see any inconvenients?

Maintaining by hand the disambiguation templates is a pain, when simply fetching this special page does the trick.

I agree, but the catch is that the users of the wiki have to maintain the list on MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage, or else the bot won't identify dab-pages correctly. That's why it has to be enabled on a wiki-by-wiki basis; someone should check that the list is up to date on a particular wiki before enabling the use of this option.
