Replacing is hardly reforming.

Changing a wiki with "click to edit" to a different system with a "click to edit" function will not make it less stale.

You don't seem to have anyone to actually do the work to even set up a credible alternative yet. Why don't you do that first and migrate part of the content, then advocate for switching?

The point is that because it's a waste of work and nobody wants to do it, it's not going to get done. Not dealing with that is just wasting emails.
