Konstantinos, it is capable of big loads, but simply needs more servers for full Wikipedia support. Also, for direct on-page use, e.g. infoboxes, I am writing an extension -- Kartographer https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Kartographer, that should be available shortly.
You can see the demo here http://vem.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page. Other demos: 2 http://vem.wmflabs.org/wiki/NYCStateSenateDistricts, 3 http://vem.wmflabs.org/wiki/WikiVoyage. Feel free to play with it.
Once that is done, we will launch it on WikiVoyage first, and later, hopefully, on all Wikipedias.

Is it capable for serving a big load, by embedding it in infoboxes? Can we start trying it in (relatively) small wikipedias?

Hello,
Four months ago new maps were launched at https://maps.wikimedia.org. Russian, Italian, and other GeoHack language Wikipedias have switched to it, as well as WikiVoyage community. I have been working closely with the creators of the current mapping projects like WikiMiniAtlas and WIWOSM (Daniel Schwen, Kolossos/Tim Alder, Magnus, Simon Legner, Sylvain, and others) on trying to merge them together into one platform.
I believe our maps are now stable and capable enough to serve all users of GeoHack, and can really use community's help to migrate it. Migration is very simple - modify *Template:GeoTemplate* and *MediaWiki:GeoHack.js* as was done here:
- https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:GeoTemplate
- https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:GeoHack.js
Eventually I am hoping that we won't need to use this complicated approach, once Kartographer extension is finished.
EXAMPLE:

Please email if you have any questions. Thanks!
P.S. You might like my other project - interactive graphs, available on all wiki. Feedback is welcome. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph/Demo
