Not to "poo poo" a very well thought out proposition, but IMO:
 * 1) - Go to an earlier version in the page history, open to edit, publish. Voila! Rollback'd without the Rollback right.
 * 2) - most wikias this is not feasible. Sorry to splash water on it. But suppose you make an edit on a page. While waiting for the volunteer(s) who admin to logon and check lists of edits to approve, *I* come along and make the same or similar edit, because y'knau, it's still there unapproved and undone. Now, which edit gets approved? Why yours and not mine? If Achievements are activated, why don't I get the badges I've been waiting for? What if there's a conflict in the versions, how much more should an admin be expected to unravel which sentences should go live, and who gets the "credit/attribution" for it? Now multiply that by however many other contributors and pages which need editing… ALL waiting for approvals. That can and probably will generate a huge Gordian Knot. Sorry. Better to just have edits go "live" right away and the active administration deal with ONLY the problem pages and edits, and users.
 * 3) - Frankly, there are very few occasions a page's history needs to be "nuked". It should reflect ALL changes so that they can be easily tracked later by Staff should they ever need to be involved. About the only situation I can think of is a wikia targeting a very young demographic and histories with very profane Summaries. In which case, yeah, delete and selectively restore… which takes a very few minutes and keystrokes. Thankfully the casual visitor generally does not bother with reviewing histories and past versions.
