Statement IDs should definitely be represented as bnodes (internally) and skolem IRIs externally because they are uniquely defined within an entity node representation. They have no meaning outside of the entity.
The typing semantics of Wikibase values are very obscure and entirely too complex for most normal reuse implementations of the data. If values are intended to be "shared between items" by an external consumer, then they should be represented as another entity type, and optimally their URIs should be dereferenceable. However, we know that this is not the case, so my personal "impression" of these things is already wrong.
Similarly confusing is the muddled reference implementation. My use case simply needs the references to be presented in the context of the statement that gives the reference a meaning. In my estimation, a reference is just a statement about a statement in the context of a one item, so I do not see how or why a reference can be "shared between items". Note that if the reference statement itself was semantically equal to another in the same item, it should therefore simply be a bnode!
