Many are. I've always been in favour of a "do what you think you can do under your responsibility"-model.
Any steward can do any action, still they don't do what they are not familiar with. For example I seldom use central notice.

Anyone doing Commons stuff has to do have Commons skills. Wikipedia sysops are not asked to have them, and do not have them by default.
If Wikipedia sysops that deal with copyright want to be Commons admins, they can apply anytime for that role. Otherwise, render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's.

Major projects surely deal with a significant amount of uploads in an efficient way.

I absolutely disagree with this. A Wikipedia sysop do not necessarily
has -
and from my experience, most of the time hasn't - the necessary skills
to
deal with copyright.

I wonder wheter local sysops could be allowed to delete/undelete

commons in order to reduce workload. Most risky commons' uploads come
from
cw-upload, allow local sysops to handle them could work.

It is hard to get the admin bit there aswell. Is Commons interested
in
having more admins?

A couple of years ago a proposed project was for the WMF to pay
for
access to the Google image matching API access so we could run a copyvio bot on the live new uploads list. Such a bot would not be terribly hard to get working, and would be a great experiment to
see
if this aspect of the more boring side of sysop tools could be reduced.[1]
Not specifically advocating auto-deletion, but daily housekeeping image matches to highly likely copyrighted categories would make
mass
housekeeping very easy.
A separate old chestnut was my proposal to introduce systemic
image
hashes, which neatly show "close" image matches.[2] With a
Commons
hat
on, such a project would be of far more immediate pragmatic use
than
mobile-related and structured data-related projects that seem to
suck
up all the oxygen and volunteer time available.
Note that the history of these project/funding ideas is so long,
that
several of the most experienced long term volunteers that were originally interested have since retired. Without some positive
short
term encouragement, not only do these ideas never reach the
useful
experiment stage, but the volunteers involved simply fade away.
