I mostly agree with you, I think, but you seem to be side-stepping the linking issue. The fact that it's currently quite ugly to make an edit link or a protect link is one of the biggest arguments in favor of using Special pages.
Assuming all actions were standardized to use the ?action= parameter, what do you think about an {{#action:}} parser function? It would allow for something like [[{{#action:move|Main Page}}]]. Does this seem reasonable? If so, I think a page on MediaWiki with some transition information and a more in-depth look at what's actually needed to get to a consistent state would be a good next step (assuming such a page doesn't exist already). Thoughts?

Indeed, the linking issue is one of the things action-parameters does not fix. But like you say, those could be solved in another way.
I like the {{#action}} idea. I'm not sure [[ and ]] can or should still be needed though.

This reminds me of Bug 14892 (Allow external links in edit summary and log reason): https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14892
