Yes and I don't see how it could be different in proposals 3) and 4),
displaying images in the tree ?

See ! :)

Of course having a wizard with a lot of mandatory steps would be a
pain but there's only 2 of them here.

There's a "pro" I have forgotten in the list :
Having those 2 steps is a good thing considering that we'll use the
same dialog for insertion / deletion. When you'll edit a
link/image/etc you'll first see the options dialog and won't have to
load/see the wiki tree. Of course you'll be able to go back to the
first step but in most of the cases (imo) you won't have to.
