I guess the issue may be different for Wikipedia and Wikidata in that the
size of the community to number of items/articles is very different.

I don't know what the solution is but the current situation doesn't seem to
work, I spent at least 40 hours (+ Nav's time) to import the 670 items and
the data I imported has already started to become less correct through user
edits and bot edits.
