I am not at all active on Wikisource, and I have no opinion on the topic 
in general. However, I'll say just one thing:

The advantage of having smaller communities on one wiki is that there is 
then one central watch list and recent changes list. This lets people 
monitor vandalism, in many cases even for languages they don't speak. 
With a very small community, vandalism can run rampant without anyone 
noticing it for long periods of time.
