Dokuwiki is fast and bloat free and works great on mobile browsers since 2012. I've been running it on the same single board computer since 2013 (good luck running Wordpress or Nextcloud on that hardware!).
Install is super easy - linux-apache-php and no DB so it runs everywhere - and it hardly needs maintenance(all I do is upgrade every now and then when a new version is released).
It's theme/template may be dull but it's simple, clean and not outdated yet. Moreover it's a wiki, not a blog so... who cares? Content is all that matters!
That said I like choice be it for themes or wiki apps!
Hardly needs maintenance at all was not my experience.
My primary driver for seeking out a new wiki was because of how difficult testing and managing Dokuwiki can be. Updates to the main wiki are infrequent, plugins are often abandoned, and the setup, running, and maintained of the wiki is non-trivial.
I recommended wiki.js is easier to run, uses markdown by default, backs up data as flat files in a git repository, and does not require many resources either. Plus, there's a supported Docker image that works out of the box.
There's no problem with choice. Dokuwiki is frequently recommended to new users and wonder if that wiki is an appropriate recommendation. I explicitly would suggest wiki.js or something similar to someone not already running Dokuwiki.
