In most contexts, solving the ordinary/common cases is a pretty big win.

The only cited example of real breakage so far has been mismatched <div>s.
How often are you or anyone else adding <div>s to pages? In my experience,
most users rely on MediaWiki templates for any kind of complex markup.

Echoing my initial reply in this thread, I still don't really understand
what behaviors from Tidy we want to keep. I've been following
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89331> a bit and it also hasn't helped
answer this question.

Spammers can trivially insert anchors (links). Additional wrapper markup
isn't even needed; we automatically render hyperlinks if a string has a
prefix that looks like it might be a URL. In any case, this is the subject
of <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T35886>.
