A nice theory, perhaps, but I suspect that in practice everyone will just post to wikien-open and largely ignore the other lists. We already have Signpost filling the role of Wikien-interesting, and IMO a "thoughtful and insightful posts only" rule for wikien-forum would either strangle discussion or be permissive enough that the list would be a near duplicate of wikien-open. A middle ground would be extremely hard to find in practice.
Personally, I don't see what's so horrendously wrong with wikien-l that it's best to abandon it. Most modern browsers have threading built into them, making it easy to ignore unproductive discussion threads. The occasional extremely disruptive poster makes enough trouble that they get kicked off, perhaps tweak the threshold for that downward a bit?
