while I'd like the "everything inside wikipedia" approach to work, the problem with it is that every new page makes it less maintainable, disambiguation pages grow larger, category listings grow larger, search results and suggestions multiply etc.

This argument doesn't seem helpful. All of those problems will continue to exist regardless of whether some articles pass the "Notability" requirement or not.

absolutely, I see it as a band aid measure, but that doesn't mean it's void of usefulness.
