Separate from your main suggestion, what issues are you aware of here?
We are aware of the CAPTCHA, of course. We would like to have a version for vision-impaired people (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4845).
In the meantime, WMF wikis should provide a mechanism to manually request an account. Many already do, and our new account signup form should facilitate this (see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin/signup?useNew=1).
