It's probably worth noting that my original conception of Wikimediation was as a revamp of the RfC procedure. I decided that it would be easier to try it and then unleash it if it's successful, and let it peter off if it's not. So my hope is that we'd have some consolidation. I also hope that the mediation committee will get itself together and start working well, and we might be able to consolidate the mediation bits.

We now have some seven or so dispute resolution channels. That's probably more than the number of editors willing to get stuck in and mediate at any one time. We're spreading a very small resource ever more thinly.
We need, rather, more people getting involved. If more people responded to RfCs in a constructive, mediative manner, we'd probably see fewer cases going to 'official' mediation and even the Arbcom.
