I disagree that the goal is to get an encyclopedia written. The goal is to produce an encyclopedia that is as useful as possible to the biggest set of people possible. Taking small steps to make the reference more usable in schools and work-places is consistent with that goal.
Deciding which images might deserve a spoiler warning is no more a violation of NPOV than deciding what fact is important enough to include, or deciding what reference is worthy enough to cite. All of these are judgement calls. We will continue to debate them for as long as the project is editable, no doubt.
The archives of this list will show the continuing consensus in favour of Getting the Encyclopedia Written, with the smart-aleck ideas that the process can be fine-tuned falling away in the face of the sheer fact that It Is Being Written, and its content reflects pretty much a consensus view of those who are doing the work.
