Ordering is generally useful (but can create issues as pointed out by @MichaelSchoenitzer) but it doesn't help a user to understand the concept of deprecated statements and why we have wrong data on Wikidata that we mark as deprecated. The ordering issues could be worked out by allowing ordering to order statements with higher //point in time// over statements with lower //point in time//. I'm unsure about whether it makes sense to program a new ordering solution that only takes in account ranks but not qualifiers (and a syntax that allows Wikidata users to specify which qualify should affect the ranking in what way). Intuitively, I don't think using color to express the ranks is a good idea. The watermarks also don't look good to me. Bolding/normal text/strike-through seems to me like it would be easily understood by new users. Using strikethrough to mark deprecation is an existing UX pattern that Intellij already uses and even users who don't understand it in the formal meaning as deprecation can easily understand that Wikidata doesn't claim that a statement is true when it gets shown with strikethrough. I do think we need an icon even for the default rank because clicking on the icon is necessary to change the rank. If there's no icon it's harder to discover how to change the rank. I have doubts that the icons that we have are ideal. I think it would be great to have usability tests with new users to see whether the alternative icons proposed by Michael could be an improvement about the status quo (of course other icon sets could be even better).
