Lovely summary. Given Filippo's focus on keeping things simple (hurray!), why not something more straightforward, like: purge everything non-common, the tall images' thumbs will just need to be regenerated. Needs some calculation of the drawbacks but better than altering MediaWiki. I've linked the stats from <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Simplify_thumbnail_cache>.
