That said, there was an attempt in 2013 to provide Memento support,
which would (partially) mitigate this problem by using appropriate
templates:

Of course, this would still be vulnerable to deleted images etc. And
we weren't even thinking about Wikidata transclusions then :-)

Possibly an obvious remark: an oldid-based permalink gets you an old
version of the source text of the specific page, but does not give you the
original visible _result_: The page is reparsed and displayed using the
_current_ version of all used templates, images, data from Wikidata etc. We
do not store the complete state anywhere, so perma.cc does provide extra
value here.
