Wikis have their own version control and they're meant for a much wider audience. I think general documentation definitely belongs on a wiki, not git. Edit, fix typo, done in 30 seconds :)
The two git-backed wikis I am familiar with (IkiWiki, and GitLab) have a full, traditional web UI for interacting with the wiki, and the Git back-end is effectively invisible from that perspective, but, power users have the ability to easily create a full backup of the full wiki history; perform large-scale or complex, machine-assisted edits on the local copy; use advanced merge-conflict resolution tools.
Having said all that, I believe any effort to revamp the Debian Wiki should start with determining the requirements and goals, rather than start picking solutions.
