You're definitely right that the current rendering looks way too dark and the
antialiasing looks pretty bad... but the 2.2 gamma seems much too light to me
for on-screen reading, probably because many thin strokes are much thinner than
one pixel at this size.

I suspect the darker gamma got picked because darkening the antialiased thin
strokes effectively makes them appear "wider", making the text overall more
legible.

Are there alternate font rendering settings or even alternate fonts that might
be better for screen-oriented rendering?

(Of course moving forward we may also want to be thinking about better
in-client rendering to aid legibility on high-resolution displays and printing
directly from the wiki. There are various MathML/SVG/scary HTML roads that can
be taken there, all of which will be more work than tweaking the latex
settings. :)
