Joe added a comment.

Moving (even part of) the presentation layer outside of MediaWiki raises quite a few questions we have to make important decisions about.

But in the case of Wikidata, I can see how an exception could be made:

  • It's not part of the core functionality of MediaWiki
  • Its UI is notably different from everything else MediaWiki does, to the point we could argue it's a completely distinct UI from the main one

So I think it's justifiable to choose to go in the direction of a separated frontend in this case, from an architectural point of view, without the need for further discussion.

Personally, I'd like to get a more detailed description of how you plan to integrate parts of the UI you will still get from MediaWiki itself - the original plan I saw considered ESI, which is not a solution we (SRE team) like much.
