If the proposed upstream rpm doesn't work, that a bug issue for upstream!
I don't see what openSUSE community can do on that subject. Oracle "offer" subscription, support etc for its products. We just can't.
You don't have to fix upstream rpm (made for RH) but make the life easy for opensuse users.

I'd like to see something official shipped with the distro that takes care of the needed steps. Maybe downloading the archive...
Do you know any other non-commercial linux distribution that ships Oracle JDK as package? It costs a lot of money to have special deal with Oracle to be able to redistribute their JDK, I would assume that SLES may be doing that but it does not make sense to do that for openSUSE. Even just creating automated install scripts can be risky since Oracle wants everyone to "Accept the License" before downloading. And any way, it should not be a problem just to unpack the downloaded tarball as long as you do not need alternatives, and even alternatives can be added manually.
As Stanislav notice, forget about official download / support. It's purely forbidden by Oracle license.
Ok ok, not self download..
Now about the wiki page, I have a quick look, but when I've ended my lecture, it was clear for me, (even if I was a Java dev) that I wouldn't follow those instructions.
Yes, it's scary.. I tryied with some short guide but no luck. Lots of errors calling update-alternatives..
Now the interesting part is located in the Dicussion Tabs. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB_Talk:Installing_Java
There's already people that have tried to manage the challenge, I would encourage any GROUP work to find a solution, around perhaps a common git(hub) repository.
With the description you made, I can imagine a source base for an easy-end-user rpm The installed script by the rpm would take care of alternatives,symlinks etc with a jre/jdk version tar ball pre-downloaded by the user. (There's actually 3 versions to take care of 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 soon) Yes this would be a good compromise !
