For context, Wikidata now has over 85,000 sitelinks to redirects on English Wikipedia alone <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Redirects_connected_to_a_Wikidata_item>. Of those, at least 27,000 are intentional <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikidata_redirects> (to deal with the 'Bonnie and Clyde problem'). Perhaps it's time that we stop forcing people to use the workaround and accept that allowing sitelinks to redirects hasn't broken Wikidata and in fact is a good idea. The main objection that @Lydia_Pintscher and others raised at the RFC was that "it isn't clear how to keep the 'good' ones apart from the 'bad' ones", but the badging system (and existing templates like {{Wikidata redirect}} <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikidata_redirect>) provide a solution to that problem. I support merging @Ladsgroup's patch <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase/+/602422/> and hope others will consider it with an open mind.
