To get broad support from the server side, you’ll need to showcase high browser support. We need Wordpress and Wikipedia and Ghost to support this, and that won’t happen without native browser support.

It can. Unlikely but possible. A good first step would be to have a well-written web component to be used like this: `<markdown>...</markdown>`, with no support at all for a build-step. The .js file implementing this should be included directly in the `<head>`.
If that gets traction (unlikely, but possible) then the standards would sooner or later introduce a tag native to the browser that does the same thing.
