Don't we have all the language versions they had?

We have dozens/hundreds of interwiki bots, unless you want it done immediately
you don't need to worry. Adopting the global bot policy would help finding bots

Those interwikis could be updated to point to Wikimedia projects instead; if
you don't want this, you need to ask a bot operator on wiki to change them
(unless the WMF wants to exceptionally to it for you).
