The EA Wiki seems probably worth funding, but it is not the most ambitious project that the main person behind it could be doing.[emphasis mine]
This is a really minor point, but I think your phrasing here is overly euphemistic. “most ambitious project” taken very literally is a) a very high bar and b) usually not a bar we want people to go for [1]. To the extent I understand your all-things-considered views correctly, I would prefer phrasings like “While I think on the margin this project is worth spending EA dollars on, I do not believe that this project is higher EV than other likely candidate options for Pablo to work on” or stronger wordings like “I am reasonably confident that other likely career options for Pablo have significantly higher EV.”
[1] A caricatured example of “most ambitious project” might look more like “become God-Emperor of the world” or “solve AI alignment in one week.”

I thought it was clear enough, fwiw.
