If Discussions "doesn't integrate with MediaWiki at all", it's the opposite - it won't need much change, if any at all, to accommodate a MW update. There's way less bugs in Discussions than there are in Forums, and I would suspect more bugs in Forums would surface as a result of trying to continue supporting the hack of a feature it is.
