"Everything" is a bit broad. :-)  I looked through mediawiki/core.git and
$wgMiserMode is used primarily with a few API modules and Special pages. Most
Wikimedia wikis are pretty small, so I'm not sure I understand the real concern
here. (And, broadly, $wgMiserMode is actually used a lot less than I would've
thought.)

Part of the point of creating <https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/small.dblist> was
to be able to disable $wgMiserMode on a subset of Wikimedia wikis rather than
punishing every wiki with $wgMiserMode = true; due to the unusual size of a few
wikis. That is, just because the English Wikipedia is very large doesn't mean
that the Farsi Wikibooks needs to be constricted and constrained. That's not
fair.

If these miser mode-protected features within MediaWiki are truly incapable of
working well even on small wikis, then they clearly need to be fixed.
