At the moment that is THE main use of Wikidata on Commons (we hope to write code or other uses) and it should be optimized. Calls to get label+sitelink in the user language are used in many templates which are then transcluded into great many files. A single file could have up to dozen such links.
That sounds tough, as we don't really have data to decided which Wikipedia fits best when. Building a lookup for a specific site (Wikipedia) or site group is doable.
I guess we could also provide a lookup mw.wikibase.getSiteLinkForLanguage( 'wikipedia', 'optionalLanguageOrUserLang' ).
