Is mediawiki table structure going to change?
Yes, it changes on a regular basis.
Moreover, any more private method for sharing the tables (eg. a trigger deleting the row when rev_deleted is set) would precisely lose the backup ability the toolserver is performing.
I don't think the toolserver is used for backups. At least I hope it's not, given its reliability (which is quite good, but "quite good" is scary for backups).
