MediaWiki can export HTML5 and RDFa
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/MediaWiki_DOM_spec> (via Parsoid),
which is fairly future-proof. Parsoid can also serialize the same HTML back
to wikitext. Serializing to other wiki flavors could be implemented as a
modification of the Parsoid html2wikitext serializer module.

That's sorta like getting married with a pre-nup agreement. For the rest
of your married life, you'll be wondering...
Don't waste too much time on it, and don't waste ANY post-decision effort
on it! I've seen major software projects go down because of an unreasonable
focus on contingency plans. You just can't plan for anything that might
happen.
Just get married. Having put energy into a pre-nup agreement will flavour
the rest of your relationship... and then, some court may throw it out,
anyway! For better or worse, in sickness and in health... I'd focus on
showing how vast and competent the MediaWiki community is, rather than
waste much time on portability.
"Yea, you can get your data out" is all the answer you need. Then some
poor schmuck will be stuck porting that data for the rest of the project's
lifetime.
