for WLM France, except for WMfr staff, nearly all members of the team
are Commons users or Commons sysop; is this unusual?

Yes, it's probably unusual. With 43 countries participating, I'd
expect a majority of them don't even have a Commons administrator
speaking their native language.

There is 237 human sysops on Commons speaking more than 70 languages. I find that rather unexpected...

And having a sysop is just a bonus, having a Commons user would be already very useful and helpful.

We have several (four or five I believe) Russian-speaking Commons admins.

There is 24 sysops with various level of russian (and probably various level of activity), 11 seems to be native according to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators

Maybe you can reach them for help...

This year I am the only one of them who is involved in WLM. If we have a solution which would spare me of undeleting 2000 files and transferring them to Wikivoyage I would appreciate it.

Thank you for your work !

Indeed and again, that's why I support to keep the deletion request on hold ;)
