I typically leave the HTML fragments more or less as they are, because for previewability and for the HTML guy it's easier when they are in bigger pieces. Splitting the contents of a Panel to WebMarkupContainers does not require changing the HTML code, just Java code. Or maybe you need to add some new wicket:id to some div. We have extensive developer tests (WicketTester "almost unit" tests :)) to see that the code and HTML are in sync, and Wicket gives good error messages when they aren't, so the manual refactoring is pretty safe to do in the end. That being said, of course more IDE support would be nice!
