@Derk-Jan your 1-5 are all standard problems that can be resolved. I think if we sat down together (MathJax and MediaWiki devs), they could easily be sorted out. I don't think they are as complicated as you make them sound.
Regarding the load and perceived speed, I would suggest to let users decide.
@Oscar that's the idea of bug 48036https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48036 To test the user experience try this bookmarklethttps://gist.github.com/pkra/5500316

I'm wondering if the lack of reactions so far is positive or negative.
It's negative, it shows that few people have the confidence to think they have something worthwhile to contribute on this niche area. :(
I read this as a invitation for more random feedback. Even if is not 100% worthwhile :P
So heres something, a plan:
Two styles of rendering. The formulas that are simple and are embedded in paragraph, are rendered using HTML with a magical MathML to HTML converter. Complex formulas are rendered as a PNG image, a scripts autoload "something better" if the user click on the image. The user can opt-in to render as MathML or render to canvas with js automatically with the complex formulas.
