Nothing will ever fully prevent vandalism, short of locking down the entire wiki, so that's a moot point. However, this will get rid of the vast majority of revert wars.

You have a point about the users who are rewriting parts of articles to improve them.

The request system doesn't restrict any basic rights. If a user has an issue that requires rights they don't have (editing protected pages, deleting articles they might have created on accident, and so on), they request it.
