Mvolz added a comment. Just another use case for your consideration, but there's been some discussion regarding using wikidata inside citation templates.
So on a worse case scenario like Barack Obama, you might see > 200 citations there. It gets even worse when you consider that each citation might contain fields from multiple entities. For instance, if you are citing a journal article, you might need information about 1. The article entity 2. The journal entity 3. Entity data about every linked author or other creator In the case of requesting data about the author entities, this could go bad rather quickly. Assuming an average of 10 linked entities per paper (high, but some papers have 50 authors or so), you could easily see something like 2000 (200 * 10) entity requests in a page.
