Some people think the web has relevant content that is non-notable... Suggesting to search engines that they not index certain pages will only break one discovery mechanism. If there is irrelevant content why not blank them. There is obviously something there that people don't want others to find, so why not focus on that issue.
The fact that when they do get to the page they can do a lot with the community content under wikipedia licensing terms should be a bigger issue than that of real world consequences of Google (not) doing things with content.

Why is it overkill? What is there on non-encyclopedia pages that should be searchable?

Addressing this on ALL non-mainspace is quite a bit of overkill. Perhaps you could narrow your request to something a little more specific.
