Testing the feature I notice it only uses the sitelinks section of items. And then only those sitelinks that are in the language of the wiki. So statements are not taken into account. So I think I have to disagree with you on the suggestion that in most cases Wikidata would contain all the information needed, that is simple not true. The simple reason for that is that sitelinks can only be added to one item, and a Commons category is added in preference to an item that contains categories of Wikipedia. Meaning that Commons galleries are connected to article items. So most articles items do have a Commons category statement, but do not have a Commons category sitelink. Thousands of Commons categories are not added as sitelink to Wikidata, because of a major issue in de design of Wikidata that does not take the actual Commons situation into account. On nl-wiki we give a preference to linking to Commons categories as those form the basic navigational system, and not to Commons galleries that are often considered not useful. If we set the Wikibase as a basic, this will override the links we have set ourselves. I am not sure if that would en considered acceptable. I will organise a voting to see what the community has as preference.
