We do need to have items about unique identifiers (because they can have sitelinks) so would it make sense to make sure every Wikidata property for an ID is matched to a corresponding item about that id?
The problem is that many of our ids are not even advertised as UIDs by the people who mint them (many are just a primary key of some database leaking out from a URL pattern), so it would feel quite artificial to have items about these (but that's just my gut feeling).
My preference would be to have an item for all of them, but even if others disagree, we definitely need items for those documented as PIDs/ UIDs in external sources, such as indentifiers.org
