For the immediate future, I suggest lifting this restriction for wikis between 1,000 and 50,000 articles in size (large enough to have a few active users, small enough to not yet have lots of policy around these issues). Ultimately we'll want to integrate Commons better into the user experience, but until then, IMO we should eliminate artificial impediments like this which prevent people from growing their communities and frustrate them -- unless there's a proven issue of large scale abuse. Does that make sense?
Instead, why not redirect people with no permissions straight to Commons? I think you can upload there when not auto-confirmed. Some projects (en.wiktionary for example) already redirect everyone to commons when they click upload.
