The flexibility of the wikitext templates comes at a cost though (e.g. performance).

Primarily, it creates a messy complicated soup of tables, inline styling divs and more, and as a result making the infobox less usable, harder to read, slower.

Moreover, inline styling is exactly what makes wikitext templates harder to port to different devices. So I don't think it is a generally good idea to go back to that.

Rather than inline styling the best approach is probably using inline classes, e.g. one for each tag. That way it is easier to target it and make changes, rather than worry over using n-th terms and such.
