I don't think that allowing sitelinks to redirect pages would be good in this context. I think that a better solution for this problem would be displaying the sitelinks to the elements linked by the properties has part (P527) and part of (P361) of the Wikidata item. This would be more easily maintainable both in Wikidata and in Wikipedia, and would prevent having to create redirects for all the articles that people wants to link.
The problem with the redirects is that as a reader I can't know it I'm going to an article about the same content or only to an article that has information about an article that has more information about some entity to which the entity I'm reading of is part of. In the case of Bonnie and Clyde I may want to have more information about Bonnie specifically and when I click on the sitelink of enwiki for Bonnie Parker in Wikidata I expect it to be a link to an article about Bonnie, not about Bonnie and Clyde. Yes, the article has more information than what I would get in an article about Bonnie alone, but what happens doesn't match my expectations as a reader.
Additionally, having sitelinks to the entities with P527 and P361 and the sitelink would improve discoverability and fix the problem of the article of Bonnie and Clyde not being linked to articles in other languages about Bonnie and Clyde while matching the expectations of the readers.
