The bigger threat to Wikipedia is people who want to corrupt its information content. People wanting to get their treasure chest is not an existential threat. The existing employees and collaborators are more likely to get corrupted by nefarious actors if they don't have independent revenue sources.

Nobody is saying wikipedia should have zero donations. Just that people piling on extra money should cool it.

For the organization, sure. For the content it may very well be.

More reason to have fewer employees.
