The bigger Wikipedia gets, the less contribution is required, since the “static” content gets more and more covered.

I think there is plenty room for more content, but a lot of it requires more than average level of expertise, or contributions from demographics that historically haven't contributed to Wikipedia.
that's been my impression as well. when I look at articles focused toward my field I struggle to figure out how I can contribute without needlessly adding complexity or excessive detail to--what amounts to--an encyclopedia entry. Wikipedia isn't done but a lot of the low hanging fruit has been plucked.
