The idea of linking red links is very interesting, I believe, especially as we have Wikidata items to many of the missing articles. We discussed the concept of "smart red links" (linking to the ArticlePlaceholder pages, as someone pointed out before) a while ago, documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ArticlePlaceholder/Smart_red_links
I believe it's a very interesting direction to explore, especially for Wikipedias with a smaller amount of articles and therefore naturally a higher amount of red links.
