I think that there is some time untill all infoboxes start using Lua. Even
if they do we still don't know if it will be just for rendering or if it
will affect the actual data. This is very fresh so we'll have to wait a
while and see how it goes

Tthe problem that you are describing is known but we were not aware that it
existed in infoboxes too.
We faced this when we needed to generate abstracts so we used a working
mediawiki clone of wikipedia to render them. Your case is more complicated
because we can't know in advance what needs to be rendered or not.
You should also talk with Julien Cojan, he is responsible the DBpedia in
french Chapter (fr.dbpedia.org). I guess he already faced similar issues.
