I already experimented a bit with that system to simplify it compared to the minecraft wiki. I noticed one important disadvantage: The loading time for 12 pictures (1 background, 1 table name, 1 output, 9 ingredients) is considerably longer than for 1 complete recipe picture. So when you have several recipes on one page (let's say 20 or more on the pages for the tables), it can take some seconds to load. Also, a lot of pages have to be changed to the new system.

But I think, the advantages make more than up for the disadvantages. Lag shouldn't be too much of a problem. The Minecraft Wiki uses this and doesn't experience loading issues even with far more crafting recipes to display (remember, they only use one crafting table). It certainly will make this wiki look neater, which is what is needed at this time - after updates, the wiki usually looks like a mess, with everyone joining in the editing frenzy from all around.
