A reason we started adding identical labels to different languages for family name / given name items is to avoid that users try to translate the label, e.g. family name "Taylor"@en shouldn't have "Tailleur"@fr "Schneider"@de. In languages with different scripts, transliterations are ok. For these items, if there is a constraint, it should definitely not suggest to add a different labels for these items. So if identical labels were to be deleted (or no longer added), there should be a feature to prevent (re-)addition of any label to the languages. A solution I proposed to this once was [[Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_Names#New_datatype:_monostring_item|monostring_item]] (2015). Not sure how that could practically work out today though.
