Actually.... the JSON API is far enough along that a completely custom wiki
could be based on it, using one's own custom wiki syntax, provided a
client-side renderer is available for it. The user management and wiki APIs
are feature-complete enough to support this, and implementing a
proof-of-concept for this is on my (long) list of TODOs for the JSON API.
The only (IMO) significantly missing feature in this area is the ability to
get historical versions of the wiki pages - currently we only serve the
latest version in the JSON API (fixing that is of course also on the TODO
list).

i'll second that heartily. Fossil requires no special privileges, and can
run as an arbitrary unprivileged user provided that user has access to the
repo file and the dir containing it.
