I think Wikimedia needs expensive outreach and modernisation to stay relevant. And most of those attempts will be in vain.
A poor comparison is how much money coca cola spends on advertisement, even though it is one of the best known brands in the entire world. And most of their advertisement is simply "This is our name, we exists", not even a value proposition or call to action.
If Wikimedia sets themselves up to pay for servers and maintenance for perpetuity, they will fall into obscurity.
With that being said, I also don't think they are spending their money in a good way.
