The Visual editor has a whole UI team behind it, who've been working on it for years. Yes, citations are only a small part of it, but there is nothing equivalent in WMF or German chapter for Wikidata, AFAIK. The Wikidata UI is improved constantly, but I don't think there is anyone, let alone a whole team, developing massive new UI features.
Katie is currently working on a gadget for citoid on Wikidata. I hope we can get it into the next sprint to then have a really basic first version for people to try. Tracking at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131661 I am confident this will get us in the right direction. Agree with pretty much all of your suggestions.
General remark for everyone in this thread: I encourage you all to discuss here but if you care about the outcome of the RfC please go and add your opinion there. What is on the RfC page is what determines the outcome of the RfC.
