I think there are plenty of examples of non-CC0 data being imported in Wikidata.
PubMedCentral is being imported at a large scale and as far as I can tell it is not CC0 (at least https://europepmc.org/Copyright does not make that clear. It focuses on the full texts, which we don't import, but I guess the metadata could also be protected?). I don't want to point fingers at all - I think this import is completely fine, but I would be interested if this general impression that "it's fine" can be grounded legally.
Example of an item imported from there: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q46524969
Another example (where I am involved): the French national registry of research structures (RNSR).
Example of item: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30261396
Source dataset: https://www.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/repertoire-national-des-structures-de-recherche-rnsr/ (released under a custom "open license", which looks similar to CC-BY).
