I don’t think that it’s a good idea to rely on a external database.
(inconsistency, overhead for map producers/developers, different
toolchains, etc.)
If the name:xx is just a simple transliteration you won’t need Wikidata,
you can use algorithms for producing a map in the foreign language.
If the foreign name differs from the transliteration I think no one
would oppose to add the name into the OSM database.
--> It isn’t necessary to add Wikidata tags for naming purposes.

Please handle the questions of "should FOO-language name of an object
be allowed in the database ?" and "should that databse be OSM or
Wikidata ?" separately. The decision of whether "Абергавенни" should
be recorded as the Russian name for "Abergavenny" should be the same
for Wikidata and OSM.
