Well, with GlobalBlocking, we can now block abusive IP addresses
across multiple wikis. Blocking their account is still a local act, until
a "Block Global Account" extension gets made (I believe someone is
working on it, but I could be wrong?)

All wikis are independent, yes. But when dealing with interwiki disruption,
this should not get in the way of collaboration between wikis in dealing
with disruptive users.
Interwiki vandals for example are promptly dealt with with or without this
collaboration but other kinds of disruption, particularly slow paced ones
need such collaboration.
We currently lack such a median and communication between wikis to deal with
interwiki issues such as interwiki disruption.

wikis, particularly sister projects, commons, meta and etc how should he

she be treated.
I know every wiki is independent. But letting a disruptive user become
the
source of agony on many wikis seems like a
problematic thing to do.

That should be decided by the projects he or she is disrupting,
shouldn't it? If they feel being disrupted, they will block, if not they
won't. Where do you see problems with this way of handling it?
