Maybe we can make other languages available without cluttering the interface?
Like with autocomplete only.

Yes, I think this two points are very important and I fully endorse the move 'better no translation than a booby trap or a backdoor'.
Even active teams sometimes can ship confusing translations because a well intended but inexperienced user has made new translations at last minute. Reviewing is also part of the slow process of creating a common glossary and style.
Also the reviewing makes more likely that a string will be seen by at least two people, helping spot any errors.
Regarding this, I must say, there is another big thing to take into account: There are not enough reviewers in transifex.
I therefore call upon the native speakers of the Tails team to become reviewers, or vouch for new native reviewers for most languages except maybe French and Turkish, in transifex and weblate as well.
