I'm using tiddlywiki similarly to your needs.  I like it but I don't see 
a way to show all the edit history.  It may be there though.  I put my 
tiddlywiki in version control anyway.

I don't know why you care about JavaScript.  Your interface will be 
built in some language.

For data recovery, if you save a blank wiki file then you can use diff 
to filter all the code out of your data.  It doesn't look pretty that 
way but it's all there.

The script does need to write to your hard drive, but it's designed to 
be used locally.  You can't use it remotely and update the server side 
drive.

I don't think the cookie use is significantly different than other web apps.
