Does the Manual Of Style need updating to reflect current practice? Wikipedia generally puts out the idea that it is not static.
Uh, I think we're a long way short of consensus that we want to capitalise section headings. The Manual of Style is by definition prescriptive. Making big changes to it should be a last resort approached with caution.

When was there consensus to ensure every article uses the non-capitalised section headings style?
Certainly I seem to remember both being allowed - the theory being to stick with whatever style the article was begun with - like the US English vs. English approach.
