Hoi,
It would be better than nothing, yes. Just see how many interesting articles with formulas we have thanks to "math" (or how it is called) and how little elementary data tables we publish even on en.wiki.
Pls pls pls make sure the input interface does clearly look like a table and not like a gizmo for geeks. Otherwise it will be filed under "the hell knows what it is" by most users and you will have wasted your time in making it.

Not if you need tables. Tables in wiki-markup are the most awful things I ever saw. And most technical data is traditionally presented in tables.
A table generator would be good - not full WYSIWYG, just somewhere to input number of rows and columns and then you get a textbox for each cell and type the appropriate code in them, and then it gives you the full wikisyntax for the table.
