You missed it.

If you need a CMS, you should get a CMS. However, they have somewhat poor collaboration.

If instead your goal is really the kind of collaboration empowered by low-friction wiki environments, you sould employ a tasteful subset of the wikis out there, and you'll see vastly more powerful results out of the interaction than any CMS will provide.

Collaboration != "low friction" text editing. To keep distributed teams in sync on complex tasks, you need a more powerful solution -- for the reasons I already outlined.

I think I disagree with your equation, and that we have pretty different ideas about the definition of that word. Oh well.
