I think the explicit schema will be brilliant when applied to collections, it will facilitate linking tools and more. But would it make sense to represent lists as a wikidata statements, as a compromise between native SQL and wiki pages? We would gain the standard onwiki tools, a data structure that makes lists queryable and richly linkable, and it also becomes easy to add properties for higher-level projects such as distinguishing between Education Program's "list of articles to review" and "list of articles I'm editing".
