I've never had an issue editing user pages. A wiki I Admin has rules against most fan-art and fan-videos and a few other bits about inappropriate/hate content. Other than this we have not set user page policy. Maintenance (redlinks & categories) is taken care of as well and I always make sure the edit summary explains 100% what was done and why.

While I constantly tell people that Wikia is not Facebook or Instagram, I don't have a problem with users adding a couple images to their profiles. I usually recommend that a user use an image that is already used on the wiki as opposed to uploading them just for their page. We use Userboxes but have a page of approved ones (most are small and the same size). Some wikis go overboard with huge Userboxes while we do not allow them. People using templates for main pages - I don't really support the idea, but I won't intervene unless there is a category issue.

I was on one wiki before that didn't allow images on profiles and I wanted to upload a specific, related image. I found out that I couldn't upload it for my profile, an idea I didn't like at the time, so I just left the wiki.

I've rarely encountered policies directed at userpages. I've always considered them off-limits for the most part of the wiki to control. I also believe no one but an Admin should ever edit someone else's page without permission. An Admin should mainly preform maintenance.

"all userspace content has to be justified"

I'm sorry but I think this is stupid for this namespace. The main namespace, not so much of a problem for me.
