I would not hesitate here. If you have two notations for the same thing people who want to write have to know them both because they are going to encounter them and therefore have to know what they mean and if they are the same or not. Having one notation is simpler for everybody.

What if you want a bold italic font? I know of only three ways to do it on Wikipedia, and none are pure wiki syntax: <b>''Bold italic''</b>, <i>'''Bold italic'''</i>, or <b><i>Bold italic</i></b>.
