The lag on elasticsearch is typically lower than what we have on WDQS. But that's still an asynchronous process, with lag expected to climb occasionally.
Retrieving items by identifiers is quite crucial in many tools so it would be useful to have a solid interface for that instead of relying on SPARQL (which feels indeed like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut).
Again, I'm missing context / knowledge, but accessing item by identifier sounds like an operation that should be exposed by a Wikidata API directly, not by a secondary datastore like WDQS/Blazegraph or Search/elasticsearch.
