Why is a database of that size hard to maintain using MySQL?
MySQL is used that much that it should have no trouble coping with such
a small wiki. Eventually some care has to be taken to set fields to
utf-8 collation - but the media wiki should take care of that.
In the end a wiki is a key value store and a search.

Again - tell us why you feel that way :)

I'm pretty sure mediawiki also knows how to cope with spam if you
configure it correctly *and* keep it up to date.
