Last I heard, all the dumps were coming in at fairly regular intervals, barring the enwiki full-history-all-namespaces dump. Image dumps are needed, yes. The OP said he just needs the text anyway :)

Image dumps aren't really needed since you can hook into the foreign file repos (aka InstantCommons) for most things (except for offline uses), And it's a bit hard to dump images on most projects due to fairuse (or the languages equivalent laws) images, commons would be the most easiest projects that you could dump almost all the images from.
