The EOTK stuff are interesting but not really an option for us -- they rely on a edge (nginx) server performing content manipulation blindly, which is a bad idea for many reasons, security amongst them.
Hi again Faidon!
I'd love to know more about the security issues in particular. Do please tell?
However, it hasn't been a priority for me or my team for these reasons:

I would love to know more about what you see as the inhibitors - especially so that I can go fix them for the internet-community-at-large - however this decision is one for the Wikipedia community to take.
I'll still happily help if you decide "yes", but WMF should make and own the decision.

ps: reminder, I'd love to know more about the security issues. :-)
