first of all, I let me tell you that I'm really excited about this
project. It may very well revolutionize the way we organize templates on
Wikimedia and also other wiki farms.
Some notes:
1. You propose a shared database. If I interpret this correctly, it only
works inside a wiki set on the same server farm and doesn't include
external wikis. For example, English Wikipedia could transclude
templates from Meta Wiki, but not from Wikia. In contrast,
$wgForeignFileRepos works for external Wikis (which is much better).
2. Parsing the wikitext at the home wiki makes it more difficult to use
site magic words, e.g. {{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}. You'd have to pass one each
and everyone as a template parameter (e.g.
{{homewiki::templatename|lang={{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}}})
