Given your concerns, if you haven’t tried it, you should give Notion.so a shot as an alternative to Dokuwiki. It has a similar basic concept (plain text files for pages, ability to download the whole shebang as a series of folders and text files and unmodified attachments), but they do the hosting and it’s like a batteries included Dokuwiki, with a ton of built in functionality included. It also has an innovative sub-pages concept that is basically just like nested Dokuwiki namespaces. Also there are Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android apps.
