Would the wiki part of fossil be a good static site generator?
As in, if I wanted to publish a markdown lake with lots of interlinking with [[wikilinks]] would this work?
It might be faster than many SSGs and perhaps less complicated.

Not in the general case, no. Fossil-generated wiki/markdown output expect to be browsed within the context of a fossil repository, and will generate links accordingly. There might be very limited use cases where it would work reasonably well, but not generically. e.g. adding a link to a local file or another wiki page will not work if the output is browsed from outside of a fossil repo instance.
