I stand by my previous position (have dual license FDL in its fully free 
version/dfsg version + CC-BY_SA 4) but if I'm the only one it means that we 
have only the painful way of finding contributors no more active for 10+ years 
and try to relicense. We seriously risk to lose a lot of documentation this 
way. 
Would we allowed to keep the documents with old license and apply this only to 
new one?

It does not change your proposal but this specific point is incorrect: 
Wikipedia is dual licensed even now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Wikipedia:Copyrights
