I use XML dumps at my own much smaller wikis all the time. The 
advantages are already described by [email protected]
I never tried to load huge wp-en dumps, though. I've head that 
importDump.php is too slow or even may be troublesome (memory/resource 
leaks?) with these huge dumps. That probably can be fixed to dump in 
chunks, then restart the php process. I have suspection towards non-core 
tools, like mwdumper, though I never tried that (my dumps are not so 
huge).
My voice also has low weight, I am not a core developer.
