Having teams of trusted moderators (not necessarily the same team for each article) to overlook certain "risky" articles might be a good compromise. Part of being in a team of trusted moderators is the knowledge that the best safeguard of content is verifiability. The team can have disagreements, but I think it would be better to argue on the talk page than to get into edit/revert war.
You can't have "a team of trusted moderators" *and* verifiability--well, you can, but only up to the point where the moderators are challenged on unverifiable material. At which point you have stopped trusting them and you might as well have just left things the way they were.
