The truth is that the issue is not MediaWiki, but the historical artefact of 'utf8' in MySQL (and MariaDB)...

Because T135969 has spilled here, I can see the annoyance with someone using a "bad" encoding, I will try to be a bit conciliatory, however, I don't see any way to solve that, other than documenting (maybe it was done already):

The only encoding supported for mysql is binary, others may work on limited cases, but are unsupported. To migrate to binary run: ALTER TABLE table CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET binary; on all your tables".

If your complain is that lack of documentation, that would be a fair one. If it is that you want to allow full plane UTF-8 characters on utf8(mb3) mysql configuration, that is literally impossible. People should migrate to the supported charset(s). If the developers don't want to support multiple encodings (and I can see why- index length issues, meaning changes that would hide bugs) that is up to them. The good news is that because open source, everyone can become a developer and support additional features! I highly encourage you to do that.
