There is currently a number of things going on re the future of Wiktionary.
There is, for example, the suggestion to adopt OmegaWiki, which could
potentially complicate a Wikibase-Solution in the future (but then again,
structured data is often rather easy to transform):

There is this grant proposal for elaborating the future of Wiktionary,
which I consider a potentially smarter first step:

That's Wikisource. :)
There's this discussion on Wikdiata itself:
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wiktionary>
And I know that Daniel K. is very interested in working into this direction.
Personally, I regard Wiktionary as the third priority, following Wikipedia
and Commons. A lot of the other projects -- like Wikivoyage or Wikisource
-- can be served with only small changes to Wikidata as it is, but both
Commons and Wiktionary would require a bit of thought (and here again,
Commons much less than Wiktionary).
Actually Wikiquote and Wikivoyage use interwikis exactly like Wikipedia;
Commons in the same way except it's interproject; Wiktionary in the same
way except it's case-sensitive and not about concepts (opr about a
stricter definition of concept); Wikisource in a completely different
way; Wikibooks, Wikinews and Wikiversity I'm not sure.
As for phase II, it's another story. Wikisource and Commons would
benefit a lot from it; for Wiktionary it could be a revolution; for
Wikispecies idem but with less effort (?); Wikiquote would become
I would appreciate a discussion with
the Wiktionary-Communities, and also to make them more aware of the
OmegaWiki proposal, the potential of Wikidata for Wiktionary, etc. Just to
give a comparison: it took a few months to write the original Wikidata
proposal, and it was up for discussion for several months before it was
decided and acted upon. I would strongly advise to again choose slow and
careful planning over hastened decisions.
It's impossible to plan or discuss anything without knowing what matters.
