This split is one of the solution we want to experiment to address the scalabity issues of WDQS <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata_Query_Service/ScalingStrategy>. We are conscious about the usability issues that you raise but at this point we are more focused on understanding the feasibility and limitations of federation with such a split. It should be worth noting that one goal is to be sure that use-cases not relying on the scientific articles should still work without federation. As a scientist it is hard to understand how to collect feedback without properly defined success criteria. I am also a bit concerned about discussing the strategy on a technical level, where you can not just buy a bigger machine to mitigate the problem until a real solution is found. To me, it seems that WDQS is a non-essential service for wikipedia.org so migrating to something new can be done with service interruptions. On a less detailed level, it seems very hard to understand why citations should be split off when `[citation needed]` became a catchphrase for the Wikimedia movement at large. Overall this experiment seems to be a waste of donation money to me.
