I don't think this is a viable option. TeX has been around for decades at this point. If the rationale for this idea is just "we dont need the full latex to render", that's a no-go. Beside the huge lifting to get this written, I don't see a clear gain (althought I didn't take a deep look), while I do see downsides.

Probably there's already something around based on that. You'd be better converting the repo to typst and leaving amusewiki.
