We need a big template on the front of the article because it's a piece of crap. I didn't even know Wikipedia had talk pages for a long time. And many readers don't know this. If Wikipedia editors are going to persist in posting inaccurate, poorly researched, incomplete and misleading crap, the templates are going to serve a purpose.
Yes, a large portion of readers will never click on a talk page. We should accept that.
Also though, readers may not need to know some of the more technical things about an article, trivia being a good example. There aren't many in my view that are bad, but a few. I don't think it's a huge problem, TFD can handle it. :)
