Aubrey - there are a LOT of mappings there. Am I correct that none of
them are mappings to the {{cite}} templates?

Having been steeped (if not petrified) in MARC21 for decades, I could
attempt a mapping to the {{cite}} templates. It would cover books,
music, movies, possibly photographs, and maybe art works. Articles are
not usually coded in MARC but a mapping could be made.

Vlsergey offered to make a gadget to import MARC records into Wikidata entries! :D Please get in touch. Thanks both in advance, it will be great.

Note that there is a mapping in OpenLibrary from their books data
(derived from MARC but not in MARC), and with a single click you get the
filled in book citation template for the book. I use this a lot. Some of
us have been wishing that OCLC WorldCat would do the same. It makes
sense to have the mapping happen at the discovery point.
