I’ve loved TiddlyWiki for years and a lot of the apps that were built on the old TiddlyWiki (some of the GTD apps that came out of TiddlyWiki back in 2006 were pretty great for the time).
I’ve been checking out TW5 off and on for years now. My biggest problem with it, though, is that it doesn’t seem to be all that well-document. Well, documentation *exists*, but it’s scattered across various sites and forums. This seems especially annoying to deal with since TW5 seems to be kind of a “build-your-own notetaker,” similar to how Emacs is “build-your-own-text-editor/outliner.”
There is a great and active community around it, but I just find myself getting a headache when I try to read through the forum.

I’ve not had the updated title issue - whenever I change a tiddler’s name, my version of TW5 asks me if I wish to update all crosslinks across the wiki, and then does so. Maybe it’s a version thing?
As for personal note-taking wikis; I’d recommend a few fairly competent options. First, samepage.io (although the free account is restricted to 16 pages, you can take a LOT of notes in those 16 pages!). Second, Quip, which is turning into a fairly elegant multipurpose solution. Thirdly, Paper by Dropbox, now built into your Dropbox web page, which is by no means perfect but does run very fast and efficiently. I don’t like Box’s offering much; it’s not as elegant or flexible. Fourthly, Notion, which is really quite nice and developing into quite a promising universal wiki thingy (notion.io). There are a few more, but those are the ones I can think of that are most likely to meet your criteria.
Cheers,
Bill

Funny. The German version 5.1.14 lacks the update feature, the English version has it. Nevertheless, updating didn’t change the links.I’ll have to look into this tomorrow.

I would mention Quiver (http://happenapps.com), which incidentally may be what you meant as well
