If by core you mean MediaWiki core, then it's hard not to be supported seeing how Wikipedia (maybe the other projects as well) already run on MariaDB.

Yes, in fact wikidata.org may be served to you with MariaDB now. :) depends on which WMF db server is used to serve your request when you visit.

PostgreSQL is really not supported at all yet for Wikibase.  MediaWiki core support for Postgres is also currently broken, while patches for sites schema updates, ORM support are pending on gerrit.  This stuff is required for Wikibase to really work and then we need to make sure the extension has all the schema updates.
