The major downside of Wiki is exporting the content (say for example to something like HTML or Docbook) and shipping documentation with the software. Wiki is fine for FAQ and also useful for starting documentation. When the documentation has progressed substantially if you are willing to then gather the content from Wiki and move it and reformat it for use in a more convential HTML/Docbook way and make sure it gets shipped with Inkscape then it should work out well but the extra step could be time consuming.
Just trying to explain my reservations about Wiki without too much prejudice. Hopefully that made sense.
We've just had this same discussion on lilypond. Listen, if a section of the wiki gets to the point where it is good enough to be made into a manual, I personally will make the effort to convert it to docbook. But it needs to be written first, and I think that that is the hard part, not fussing over formats.
