I did some basic research and right now we have for values >= 10^12:

  • total values: 918
  • no precision: 456 (~50%)
  • +-0 precision: 160 (17%)
  • small (<10) value for precision: 22 (2%)
  • bigger precision value: 280 (30%)

for values >= 10^9:

  • total values: 15670
  • no precision: 5677 (36%)
  • +-0 precision: 5250 (33%)
  • small (<10) value for precision: 435 (2%)
  • bigger precision value: 4308 (27%)

I think this says that we can pretty much ignore the values with small precisions (i.e., assume that they are accurate even though in some cases they are not, and fix the wrong ones manually or semi-manually).

However, the question of zero-precision ones stays. Many of them are not really zero-precision but just values entered without proper precision (we didn't have capability of not entering precision before) - and for those, we can compact trailing zeroes, i.e. display 3000000 as "3 mln" (or whatever form we choose).
