For the record: I've got some data (thanks!) and, based on those, I'm going to run a script to semi-protect the 500 (quite arbitrary number) most used Items in random order (although several of these Items are already semi-protected), which represents the 0.0009% of our total number of Items. Despite what may look like on the chart, the 500th most used Item has still more than 45,000 uses. This measure isn't the panacea and several thousands of Items will remain unprotected with several thousands of uses each one, but I do think this can be a reasonable middle ground for now.
Some Items can enter or leave the top-500 ranking at some point as a result of small changes in Wikipedia templates, so I keep this task open while we look for an official, probably lower priority, monitoring solution. Thanks again!
