True, these are the issues. This is why I propose the two-stage scheme, where units config file is generated from Wikidata statements, but this should be done very rarely once initial version is created. Mostly updates will be only new unit additions, and changing existing unit should require good explanation.
Yes, this means we need to reload whole data set (or at least quantity statements, which is not much better) when we change unit conversion tables - excepting the case where new conversions/units are added (in this case, only statements using these units need to be reloaded and existing statements do not need to be changed).
Also, this means the conversion config would not really be synchronized with Wikidata data as such. I don't think it is a very big issue.
Until we have per-property permissions, I don't think direct usage of Wikidata properties is a good thing.
