Hey Yaroslav and Asaf, From the SDC team perspective, I think it would definitely be preferable for such a tool to include/anticipate the need for structured data on Commons, or default to filling in Depicts and/or other structure data fields. Building more tools which generate categories by default would definitely be a bit counter-productive (and hard on multilingual contributors). One option, might be designing such a tool to work with Artworks and other unique objects (like photographs) already on Wikidata, and then have it prepared to hook up with the Wikibase/Structured data features that will go live on Commons in the fall.
