I've used UseMod Wiki as well, and can vouch for everything Matt has said. We have a copy at OSDL internally that I set up a year ago that we use for internal documentation and collaboration.
Regarding security issues, UMW has been used by Wikipedia (.com) which is a very large and fairly heavily used site. They've had plenty of abusers / vandals / etc. but survived well. Performance and scalability was the area they eventually got into trouble with (no built-in page caching). They're not using "stock" UseModWiki, but I believe derived their existing setup from version 0.92. The principle limitation I've run into with it myself is just that its interface is heavily entwined in its Perl code, so if one wished to alter its look and feel, it'd be a lot of work. There are no header/footer templates, for example. The version of UseMod that I've experience with uses RCS flatfiles rather than db files (as near as I can tell). Still a pain to deal with. ;-) Also, while the code is well organized it hasn't many comments so it takes some effort to understand what's going on if you want to do some hacking on it. But, of the various wiki's I've installed and used, for the rich set of features it provides it's the easiest to set up.
