Some changes are that redirects are in page table, not on the image one. So the commons page table would need to be shared, too.
Replace the standard 404 page for images with either * a single script that can query all databases (Wikimedia use only), OR * a script in each wiki (would be part of MediaWiki) that can query its own database
Then, our files are stored based on their filename, so either each page renaming means rename a lot of files, or we store in the image table the filename.
So, I upload an image, then move it. During this process, one file is renamed. If that image has five old versions, that means renaming five files. Just delete thumbnails, or wait for them to go out-of-date.
We should be able to cope with that :-) If I'm missing something here, please explain.
