Depends on the domain of expertise of the volunteer contributors. I work on paintings and for painters we have included alias names from painter databases in the alias field on Wikidata, so searches for painters will probably work better on Wikidata than on any Wikipedia. For writers, this hasn't been done (but to be fair I don't know if there are any databases with alias names in them such as the ones for painters). For items about women this is a problem when some Wikipedias use the married name instead of the maiden name. It would be nice if everyone would add proper aliases to Wikidata, but there are still lots of Wikipedians who write articles and never go to Wikidata at all.
