Since anon users cannot receive notification of wall messages anyway (even on legacy), what is the use case you've been running through this? ...thanking them for their edit.

WTF? The chances of an anon user finding messages placed on their message wall are quite slim. They aren't notified about it, so they have almost no way of knowing it's there - unless they somehow manage to go thru Special:WikiActivity or Special:RecentChanges at the right time to see the message.

And besides that, IP addresses change quite often. When they get a new IP, they would automatically get a new message wall as well, since IP users are switching along with their message walls. So trying to reach out to an anon user on their message wall is essentially useless and futile. You're more likely to get a hold of them in article comments than anywhere else.
